Subject: [PATCH 2/7] 8139cp: Do not re-enable RX interrupts in
 cp_tx_timeout()

From: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@...el.com>

If an RX interrupt was already received but NAPI has not yet run when
the RX timeout happens, we end up in cp_tx_timeout() with RX interrupts
already disabled. Blindly re-enabling them will cause an IRQ storm.

This is somewhat less painful than it was a few minutes ago before I
fixed the return value from cp_interrupt(), but still suboptimal.

Unconditionally leave RX interrupts disabled after the reset, and
schedule NAPI to check the receive ring and re-enable them.
