Subject: [PATCH] skge: set mac address bonding fix

When bonding does fail over it calls set_mac_address.  When this happens
as the result of another port going down, the phy_mutex that is common to
both ports is held, so it deadlocks. Setting the address doesn't need to do
anything that needs the phy_mutex, it already has the RTNL to protect against
other admin actions.

This change just disables the receiver to avoid any hardware confusion
while address is changing.
