Subject: [PATCH B 01/10] net: fec: improve safety of suspend/resume/transmit
 timeout paths

We should hold the rtnl lock while suspending, resuming or processing
the transmit timeout to ensure that nothing will interfere while we
bring up, take down or restart the hardware.  The transmit timeout
could run if we're preempted during suspend.
