Subject: [PATCH] net: macb: Fix tx_ptr_lock locking

macb_start_xmit can be called with bottom-halves disabled (e.g.
transmitting from softirqs) as well as with interrupts disabled (with
netpoll). Because of this, all other functions taking tx_ptr_lock must
disable IRQs, and macb_start_xmit must only re-enable IRQs if they
were already enabled.

Fixes: 138badbc21a0 ("net: macb: use NAPI for TX completion path")
Reported-by: Mike Galbraith <efault@....de>
Signed-off-by: Sean Anderson <sean.anderson@...ux.dev>
