3c59x: Fix deadlock in vortex_error()
This fixes a bug introduced in commit de847272 "3c59x: Use fine-grained locks for MII and windowed register access". vortex_interrupt() holds vp->window_lock over multiple register accesses to reduce locking overhead. However it also needs to call vortex_error() sometimes, and that uses the regular functions for access to windowed registers, which will try to acquire window_lock again. Therefore, drop window_lock around the call to vortex_error() and set the window afterward reacquiring the lock. Since vortex_error() may call vortex_rx(), which *does* require its caller to hold window_lock, lift that call up into vortex_interrupt(). This also removes the potential for calling vortex_rx() on a later-generation NIC.
