Subject: [patch -mainline] qlge: fix a timeout loop in ql_change_rx_buffers()

The problem here is that after the loop we test for "if (!i) " but
because "i--" is a post-op we exit with i set to -1.  I have fixed this
by changing it to a pre-op instead.  I had to change the starting value
from 3 to 4 so that we still iterate 3 times.
