Subject: [PATCH] enc28j60: use netif_rx_ni() to deliver RX packets

The enc28j60 driver reads incoming packets in the process (workqueue) context, 
not in a tasklet or the interrupt context.  Thus, we should use netif_rx_ni() 
to deliver those packets to the networking layer, instead of netif_rx(). This 
way incoming packets don't wait in the incoming queue for the next IRQ to be 
serviced.
