[netdrvr 8139cp] PCI MWI cleanup; remove unneeded workaround

* The PCI layer now handles incorrect cacheline size settings,
as it should. Remove our own workarounds.
* Move pci_set_mwi up much earlier in the probe process,
and check its return value.
* Call pci_clear_mwi() in ->probe error handling
* Call pci_clear_mwi() in ->remove

[netdrvr 8139too] don't start thread when it's not needed

The thread for was unneeded on chips other than CH_8139_K/8129. So,
this patch doesn't create the thread on chips other than
CH_8139_K/8129.


<hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (03/08/31 1.1116)
[netdrvr 8139too] remove driver-based poisoning of net_device

Harmless in 2.4, but causes oopses on rmmod in 2.6.

slab poisoning can take care of this for us, anyway.
