[PATCH net-next v2 1/2] pcnet32: stop holding device spin lock during napi_complete_done

[Oscar Maes <oscmaes92@gmail.com>]

napi_complete_done may call gro_flush_normal (though not currently, as GRO
is unsupported at the moment), which may result in packet TX. This will
eventually result in calling pcnet32_start_xmit - resulting in a deadlock
while trying to re-acquire the already locked spin lock.

It is safe to split the spinlock block into two, because the hardware
registers are still protected from concurrent access, and the two blocks
perform unrelated operations that don't need to happen atomically. The call
to napi_complete_done does not require external locking.
