[patch 23/29] r8169: prevent RxFIFO induced loops in the irq handler.

[Greg KH]

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Francois Romieu <romieu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f60ac8e7ab7cbb413a0131d5665b053f9f386526 upstream.

While the RxFIFO interruption is masked for most 8168, nothing prevents
it to appear in the irq status word. This is no excuse to crash.
