These drivers use 9100-byte receive buffers, thus allocating an skb requires
an O(3) memory allocation. Under heavy memory loads and fragmentation, such
a request can fail. Previous versions of the driver have dropped the packet
and reused the old buffer; however, the new version introduced a bug in that
it released the old buffer before trying to allocate a new one. The previous
method is implemented here.

V2 - Fixes an error in the logic of V1. Realtek is working on a change to
     the RX buffer allocation, but that is likely to be too invasive for
     a fix to -rc or stable. In the meantime, this will help.
