Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] r8169: Be drop monitor friendly

Hi all,

First patch may be questionable but no other driver appears to be doing that
and while it is defendable to account for left packets as dropped during TX
clean, this appears misleadning. I picked Stanislaw changes which brings us
back to 2010, but this was present from pre-git days as well.

Second patch fixes the two missing calls to dev_consume_skb_any().
