[PATCH] net: r8169: drain RX descriptor ring

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

When not busy waiting for incoming packets we poll for new packets only
every 10ms. Each time only a single frame is fetched from the hardware.
On a network with many broadcast traffic there might be more than
100 packets/s incoming, which will sooner or later fill up our RX descriptor
ring. Unfortunately the Realtek Hardware has no way to gracefully handle
a RX queue overflow. Fix this by fetching multiple packets from the
hardware in each receive callback.
