drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()
The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq()
in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and
can lead to kernel instability.
The solution is to use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_restore()
to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().
Call trace:
netpoll_send_skb()
{
-> local_irq_save(flags)
---> dev->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev)
---> spin_lock_irq()
---> spin_unlock_irq() *******here would enable the interrupt.
...
-> local_irq_restore(flags)
