I put it there because actual dma maping is occurring in that function.
Logically there is no difference if I put it after calling of function
rtl8169_xmit_frags() in rtl8169_start_xmit().

If You think it would be better to be in function rtl8169_start_xmit,
for performance reasons I'l put it there.

In any case I'l resubmit this patch in Monday. After all it's Saturday :)
