The bug introduced by commit 8c7396aebb68994c0519e438eecdf4d5fa9c7844
("gianfar: Merge Tx and Rx interrupt for scheduling clean up ring").

The commit merged TX and RX interrupt code into a single routine that
schedules NAPI, but no locks were introduced. This causes irq races, so
when irqs are enabled and netif_rx_schedule_prep() returns 0, nobody
disable the interrupts again. This leads to interrupt storm and finally
to the lockup.
