Subject: [PATCH v8 RESEND 6/6] r8169: Disable ASPM while doing NAPI poll

NAPI poll of Realtek NICs don't seem to perform well ASPM is enabled.
The vendor driver uses a mechanism called "dynamic ASPM" to toggle ASPM
based on the packet number in given time period.

Instead of implementing "dynamic ASPM", use a more straightforward way
by disabling ASPM during NAPI poll, as a similar approach was
implemented to solve slow performance on Realtek wireless NIC, see
commit 24f5e38a13b5 ("rtw88: Disable PCIe ASPM while doing NAPI poll on
8821CE").

Since NAPI poll should be handled as fast as possible, also remove the
delay in rtl_hw_aspm_clkreq_enable() which was added by commit
94235460f9ea ("r8169: Align ASPM/CLKREQ setting function with vendor
driver").
