Subject: [PATCH 2/2] e1000e: PCIe devices do not need to unset MANC_ARP_ENA

From: David Graham <david.graham@...el.com>

Users reported that ARP's were lost with e1000e. The problem
is fixed by not enabling this manageability configuration
bit.

None of the release_manageability code is actually needed as the
normal device reset during a shutdown returns everthing to
the right condition automatically.
