[PATCH CFT 22/30] net: fec: quiesce packet processing when taking link down in fec_enet_adjust_link()

When the link goes down, the adjust_link method will be called, but
there is no synchronisation to ensure that we won't be processing some
last remaining packets via the NAPI handlers while performing a reset of
the device.

Add the necessary synchronisation to ensure that packet processing
is complete before we stop and reset the FEC.
