lan743x: fix issue causing intermittent kernel log warnings



When running this chip on arm imx6, we intermittently observe
the following kernel warning in the log, especially when the
system is under high load:

The driver is calling dev_kfree_skb() from code inside a spinlock,
where h/w interrupts are disabled. This is forbidden, as documented
in include/linux/netdevice.h. The correct function to use
dev_kfree_skb_irq(), or dev_kfree_skb_any().

Fix by using the correct dev_kfree_skb_xxx() functions:

in lan743x_tx_release_desc():
  called by lan743x_tx_release_completed_descriptors()
    called by in lan743x_tx_napi_poll()
    which holds a spinlock
  called by lan743x_tx_release_all_descriptors()
    called by lan743x_tx_close()
    which can-sleep
conclusion: use dev_kfree_skb_any()

in lan743x_tx_xmit_frame():
  which holds a spinlock
conclusion: use dev_kfree_skb_irq()

in lan743x_tx_close():
  which can-sleep
conclusion: use dev_kfree_skb()

in lan743x_rx_release_ring_element():
  called by lan743x_rx_close()
    which can-sleep
  called by lan743x_rx_open()
    which can-sleep
conclusion: use dev_kfree_skb()
