Subject: [PATCH 4/9] net: davinci_emac: fix rx error handling

This patch adds the following fixes to the emac receive handler:

1. WARN_ON during interface shutdown.
   Although harmless, these complaints were quite disconcerting.  With this
   patch, the receive handler explicitly checks for the shutdown condition, in
   which case is bails quietly.

2. Update rx_error stats on dma receive error

3. Rate limit error messages on buffer allocation failures
