This is triggered by calling eth_schedule_poll(sw) after the IRQ has
been re-enabled.

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
