Remove the workaround, apply the attached patch and watch the oops.

If it happens in rtl8169_rx_interrupt(), you may notice that R12 is set to 0xbfc.
R12 is pkt_len in rtl8169_rx_interrupt. This value is twice too high. I have not
figured why so far and I'll go to bed.

Please Cc: netdev and jgarzik@xxxxxxxxx on followup.
