r8169: work around an irq coalescing related tx timeout
In [0] a user reported reproducible tx timeouts on RTL8168f except PktCntrDisable is set and irq coalescing is enabled. Realtek told me that they are not aware of any related hw issue on this chip version, therefore root cause is still unknown. It's not clear whether the issue affects one or more chip versions in general, or whether issue is specific to reporter's system. Due to this level of uncertainty, and due to the fact that I'm aware of this one report only, let's apply the workaround on net-next only. After this change setting irq coalescing via ethtool can reliably avoid the issue on the affected system.
