sky2: Avoid transmits during sky2_down()
This patch supersedes my previous patch "sky2: Avoid transmitting
during sky2_restart".
I have reworked the patch to avoid crashes during both sky2_restart()
and sky2_set_ringparam().
Without this patch, the sky2 driver can be crashed by doing:
# pktgen eth1 & (transmit many packets on eth1)
# ethtool -G eth1 tx 510
I am aware you object to storing extra state, but I can't see a way
around this. Without remembering that we're restarting,
netif_wake_queue() is called in the ISR from sky2_tx_complete(), and
netif_tx_lock() is used in sky2_tx_done(). If anybody can see a way
around this, please let me know.
