r8169: refactor RX path to prepare for multi-queue
This patch refactors the RX path by introducing a per-queue array
struct rtl8169_rx_ring, allocating the netdev with devm_alloc_etherdev_mqs(),
and updating related initialization and cleanup routines.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code leak the rx_ring array on driver removal?
tp->rx_ring is explicitly allocated with kcalloc() here, but it appears there
is no corresponding kfree(tp->rx_ring) in rtl_remove_one(). Since
devm_kcalloc() isn't used, shouldn't tp->rx_ring be freed when the device is
unbound?
