[ 006/135] sh_eth: fix napi_{en|dis}able() calls racing against interrupts

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d2779e99468fd83ef1493c34f3803fec9aad8345 ]

While implementing NAPI for the driver, I overlooked the race conditions where
interrupt  handler might have called napi_schedule_prep() before napi_enable()
was called or after napi_disable() was called. If RX interrupt happens, this
would cause the endless interrupts and messages like:

sh-eth eth0: ignoring interrupt, status 0x00040000, mask 0x01ff009f.

The interrupt wouldn't even be masked by the kernel eventually since the handler
would return IRQ_HANDLED all the time.

As a fix, move napi_enable() call before request_irq() call and napi_disable()
call after free_irq() call.
