[PATCH] net: macb: Do not enable RX buffer used interrupt

[Nathan Sullivan]

This driver does not handle the RX buffer used interrupt, nor does
it need to due to handling the RX overflow interrupt already.  Enabling
the interrupt would lead to an infinite loop in the ISR.

Well, that may have been premature.  We are seeing the RXUBR interrupt get
stuck asserted on Zynq hardware, and I failed to realize the driver clears
RXUBR already in macb_interrupt...  Not enabling that interrupt keeps my 
system responsive, but it's not the correct solution to this issue.
