Subject: [PATCH 3/5] net: mvneta: do not schedule in mvneta_tx_timeout

If a queue timeout is reported, we can oops because of some
schedules while the caller is atomic, as shown below :

  mvneta d0070000.ethernet eth0: tx timeout
  BUG: scheduling while atomic: bash/1528/0x00000100

So for now, let's simply ignore these timeouts generally caused by bugs
only.
