Subject: [PATCH net] r8169: fix network stalls due to missing bit
 TXCFG_AUTO_FIFO

Some of the chip-specific hw_start functions set bit TXCFG_AUTO_FIFO
in register TxConfig. The original patch changed the order of some
calls resulting in these changes being overwritten by
rtl_set_tx_config_registers() in rtl_hw_start(). This eventually
resulted in network stalls especially under high load.

Analyzing the chip-specific hw_start functions all chip version from
34, with the exception of version 39, need this bit set.
This patch moves setting this bit to rtl_set_tx_config_registers().

Fixes: 4fd48c4ac0a0 ("r8169: move common initializations to tp->hw_start")

Hint for applying this change to stable:
It may collide with 05212ba8132b ("r8169: set RxConfig after tx/rx is
enabled for RTL8169sb/8110sb devices") which renamed
rtl_set_rx_tx_config_registers() to rtl_set_tx_config_registers().
