r8169: RxFIFO overflow oddities with 8168 chipsets.

Browse Source 
Some experiment-based action to prevent my 8168 chipsets locking-up hard
in the irq handler under load (pktgen ~1Mpps). Apparently a reset is not
always mandatory (is it at all ?).

- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12
- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_25
  Missed ~55% packets. Note:
  - this is an old SiS 965L motherboard
  - the 8168 chipset emits (lots of) control frames towards the sender

- RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_26
  The chipset does not go into a frenzy of mac control pause when it
  crashes yet but it can still be crashed. It needs more work.
