r8169: Rx FIFO overflow fixes.
Realtek has specified that the post 8168c gigabit chips and the post 8105e fast ethernet chips recover automatically from a Rx FIFO overflow. The driver does not need to clear the RxFIFOOver bit of IntrStatus and it should rather avoid messing it. The implementation deserves some explanation: 1. events outside of the intr_event bit mask are now ignored. It enforces a no-processing policy for the events that either should not be there or should be ignored. 2. RxFIFOOver was already ignored in rtl_cfg_infos[RTL_CFG_1] for the whole 8168 line of chips with two exceptions: - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_22 since b5ba6d12 ("use RxFIFO overflow workaround for 8168c chipset."). This one should now be correctly handled. - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 (8168b) which requires a different Rx FIFO overflow processing. Though it does not conform to Realtek suggestion above, the updated driver includes no change for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 and RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17. Both are 8168b. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 is common and a bit old so I'd rather wait for experimental evidence that the change suggested by Realtek really helps or does not hurt in unexpected ways. Removed case statements in rtl8169_interrupt are only 8168 relevant. 3. RxFIFOOver is masked for post 8105e 810x chips, namely the sole 8105e (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_30) itself.
