spidernet: Don't terminate the RX ring
The terminated RX ring will cause trouble during the RX ram full
conditions, leading to a hung driver, as the hardware can't find
the next descr. There is no real reason to terminate the RX ring;
it doesn't make the operation any smooother, and it does
require an extra sync. So don't do it.
