mv643xx_eth: OOM handling fixes
Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking the OOM bit. This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler before attempting to do rx refill. This means that once OOM occurs, we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation of the poll handler. While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already come out of OOM.
