[PATCH net-next v2 4/7] net: axienet: don't set IRQ timer when IRQ delay not used

When the RX or TX coalesce count is set to 1, there's no point in
setting the delay timer value since an interrupt will already be raised
on every packet, and the delay interrupt just causes extra pointless
interrupts.
