[RFC PATCH] net: stmmac: Fix the problem about interrupt storm

After I do seven days of MSR test (monkey sleep reboot test) in Android,
I can encounter below netdev watchdog timeout issue. Tx queue timed out
then reset adapter. There is a probability that an interruption storm will
occur and the system will crash.

When we do MSR test, there is a NETDEV WATCHDOG WARNING:

[  117.887188] stmmaceth 32600000.ethernet eth0: Reset adapter.

Tx queue time out then reset adapter. When reset the adapter, stmmac driver
sets the state to STMMAC_DOWN and calls dev_close() function. If an interrupt
is triggered at this instant after setting state to STMMAC_DOWN, before the
dev_close() call.

The scene is as follows:
stmmac_reset_subtask()
	set_bit(STMMAC_DOWN, &priv->state);
					--->interrupt
					  stmmac_interrupt()
					    return IRQ_HANDLED
	dev_close(priv->dev);

The interrupt handler stmmac_interrupt is executed, judging that the state is
STMMAC_DOWN and returning IRQ_HANDLED. Then the processing will not continue,
and it will not be able to clear the interrupt status.

Therefore, to avoid this, set STMMAC_DOWN after dev_close().
