[PATCH 5.1 01/54] Revert "e1000e: fix cyclic resets at link up with active tx"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit caff422ea81e144842bc44bab408d85ac449377b upstream.

This reverts commit 0f9e980bf5ee1a97e2e401c846b2af989eb21c61.

That change cased false-positive warning about hardware hang:

e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 eth0: Detected Hardware Unit Hang:
   TDH                  <0>
   TDT                  <1>
   next_to_use          <1>
   next_to_clean        <0>
buffer_info[next_to_clean]:
   time_stamp           <fffba7a7>
   next_to_watch        <0>
   jiffies              <fffbb140>
   next_to_watch.status <0>
MAC Status             <40080080>
PHY Status             <7949>
PHY 1000BASE-T Status  <0>
PHY Extended Status    <3000>
PCI Status             <10>
e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx

Besides warning everything works fine.
Original issue will be fixed property in following patch.
