r8169: fix Rx index race between FIFO overflow recovery and NAPI handler.

Browse source 
Since 92fc43b415, rtl8169_tx_timeout ends up
resetting Rx and Tx indexes and thus racing with the NAPI handler via
-> rtl8169_hw_reset
   -> rtl_hw_reset
      -> rtl8169_init_ring_indexes

What about returning to the original state ?

rtl_hw_reset is only used by rtl8169_hw_reset and rtl8169_init_one.

The latter does not need rtl8169_init_ring_indexes because the indexes
still contain their original values from the newly allocated network
device private data area (i.e. 0).

rtl8169_hw_reset is used by:
1. rtl8169_down
   Helper for rtl8169_close. rtl8169_open explicitely inits the indexes
   anyway.
2. rtl8169_pcierr_interrupt
   Indexes are set by rtl8169_reinit_task.
3. rtl8169_interrupt
   rtl8169_hw_reset is needed when the device goes down. See 1.
4. rtl_shutdown
   System shutdown handler. Indexes are irrelevant.
5. rtl8169_reset_task
   Indexes must be set before rtl_hw_start is called.
6. rtl8169_tx_timeout
   Indexes should not be set. This is the job of rtl8169_reset_task anyway.

The removal of rtl8169_hw_reset in rtl8169_tx_timeout and its move in
rtl8169_reset_task do not change the analysis.
