Subject: [PATCH] spidernet: enable poll() before registering interrupts

We must not call netif_poll_enable after enabling interrupts,
because an interrupt might come in and set the __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED
bit before we get to clear that bit again. If that happens,
the next call to the ->poll() function will oops.
