cns3xxx: fix ethernet IRQ imbalance in 4.14

Rework the network code to only enable IRQ's again if NAPI agrees it's safe to do so. Also only re-enable IRQ *after* cleaning up the RX ring and re-enabling DMA, which otherwise resulted in ugly warnings regarding dirty page fragments. These popped up nearly immediately when building the kernel with O2 iso Os. --> Note that this change fixes stability issues, at the cost of ~8% throughput performance. While at it, also change the iface name being used in warning prints, making it more obvious: "switch%d" --> "cns3xxx_eth" The changes have been tested on 4 boards, each moving ~30TB of data Signed-off-by: Koen Vandeputte <koen.vandeputte@ncentric.com>
