ramips: Rework ramips_eth to not require irqsave locking anymore
Previously the tx housekeeping was done in a spin_lock_irqsave critical
section which causes irqs to be disabled during that time. Since the
housekeeping is already prepared to be scheduled as a tasklet process
the housekeeping only in softirq context and revise the locking between
the tx path and the housekeeping tasklet by using a normal spin_lock
which in most situations will be a NOP anyway.
This makes sure that interrupts are only disabled for a short time
since in the worst case the housekeeping might have to free up to 256
skbs.
