Hans de Goede d4cde88c1c p54pci: fix regression from prevent stuck rx-ring on slow system
This patch fixes a recently introduced use-after-free regression
from "p54pci: prevent stuck rx-ring on slow system".

Hans de Goede reported a use-after-free regression:

Quote from comment #17:
"The problem is the innocent looking moving of the tx processing to
 after the rx processing in the tasklet. Quoting from the changelog:
  This patch does it the same way, except that it also prioritize
  rx data processing, simply because tx routines *can* wait.

 This is causing an issue with us referencing already freed memory,
 because some skb's we transmit, we immediately receive back, such
 as those for reading the eeprom (*) and getting stats.

 What can happen because of the moving of the tx processing to after
 the rx processing is that when the tasklet first runs after doing a
 special skb tx (such as eeprom) we've already received the answer
 to it.

 Then the rx processing ends up calling p54_find_and_unlink_skb to
 find the matching tx skb for the just received special rx skb and
 frees the tx skb.

 Then after the processing of the rx skb answer, and thus freeing
 the tx skb, we go process the completed tx ring entires, and then
 dereference the free-ed skb, to see if it should free free-ed by
 p54p_check_tx_ring()."
