drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()

The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq()
in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and
can lead to kernel instability.

The solution is to use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_restore()
to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().

Call trace:
netpoll_send_skb()
{
   -> local_irq_save(flags)
     ---> dev->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev)
         ---> spin_lock_irq()
         ---> spin_unlock_irq() *******here would enable the interrupt.
              ...
   -> local_irq_restore(flags)
}
