Subject: [PATCH v2] net: fec: Fix the disabling of RX interrupt

The correct way to disable FEC RX interrupt is to clean only the FEC_ENET_RXF 
bit.

Since commit dc975382d2e (net: fec: add napi support to improve proformance) 
FEC_RX_DISABLED_IMASK is being written to the FEC_IMASK register, which also 
incorrectly sets other bits as per the definitions below: 

#define FEC_DEFAULT_IMASK (FEC_ENET_TXF | FEC_ENET_RXF | FEC_ENET_MII)
#define FEC_RX_DISABLED_IMASK (FEC_DEFAULT_IMASK & (~FEC_ENET_RXF))

This fixes the following kernel crash:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000002
pgd = 80004000
[00000002] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM

Changes since v1:
- Fix it also inside fec_enet_init and fix the kernel crash.
