françois romieu bc9627e7e9 via-velocity: fix netif_receive_skb use in irq disabled section.
2fdac010bd ("via-velocity.c: update napi
implementation") overlooked an irq disabling spinlock when the Rx part
of the NAPI poll handler was converted from netif_rx to netif_receive_skb.

NAPI Rx processing can be taken out of the locked section with a pair of
napi_{disable / enable} since it only races with the MTU change function.

An heavier rework of the NAPI locking would be able to perform NAPI Tx
before Rx where I simply removed one of velocity_tx_srv calls.
