[RFC net-next 1/5] r8169: recheck the TX descriptor after a vector-map interrupt

[Vlad Banea <montrealtango@gmail.com>]

With the vector-map interrupt model the TX interrupt can arrive before
the descriptor write-back is visible. rtl_tx() then stops at a
descriptor that still looks owned, and the end of a burst stays
unreaped. Once the BQL limit drops below the stranded bytes, the queue
stops and the watchdog resets the chip.

The legacy handler reads the interrupt status register before the poll
runs; the vector-map handler only writes registers. Do as Realtek's
driver does: if the first pending descriptor still looks owned, read a
register and look again.

Fixes: 677f8f8c4c5f ("r8169: add support for new interrupt mapping")
