(the patch does not use pdev alone)

pm_runtime_active() won't change after pm_runtime_get_noresume(). You may
set a boolean active = pm_runtime_active(d) before testing netif_running().

Nits:

- the tp->TxDescArray test provides the required synchronization: see
  rtl8169_{open/close} and their pm_runtime_{get / put}.

- ioaddr is not really needed : tp->mmio_addr appears only once and it does
  not mess the 72..80 cols limit.

- even if the device can only be automatically runtime suspended some time
  after a link down event, you may address davem's point regarding stats
  reliability and move rtl8169_rx_missed + rtl8169_update_counters after
  rtl8169_net_suspend.
