Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] r8169: enable rtl8125b pause slot

When FIFO reach near full state, device will issue pause frame.
If pause slot is enabled(set to 1), in this time, device will issue
pause frame once. But if pause slot is disabled(set to 0), device
will keep sending pause frames until FIFO reach near empty state.

When pause slot is disabled, if there is no one to handle receive
packets (ex. unexpected shutdown), device FIFO will reach near full
state and keep sending pause frames. That will impact entire local
area network.

In this patch default enable pause slot to prevent this kind of
situation.
