Subject: [PATCH 5.5 345/367] r8169: fix performance regression related to PCIe max read request size

From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 21b5f672fb2eb1366dedc4ac9d32431146b378d3 ]

It turned out that on low performance systems the original change can
cause lower tx performance. On a N3450-based mini-PC tx performance
in iperf3 was reduced from 950Mbps to ~900Mbps. Therefore effectively
revert the original change, just use pcie_set_readrq() now instead of
changing the PCIe capability register directly.
