Since commit 7787380336 "net_dma: mark broken" we no longer pin dma
engines active for the network-receive-offload use case. As a result
the ->free_chan_resources() that occurs after the driver self test no
longer has a NET_DMA induced ->alloc_chan_resources() to back it up. A
late firing irq can lead to ksoftirqd spinning indefinitely due to the
tasklet_disable() performed by ->free_chan_resources(). Only
->alloc_chan_resources() can clear this condition in affected kernels.
This problem has been present since commit 3e037454bc "I/OAT: Add
support for MSI and MSI-X" in 2.6.24, but is now exposed. Given the
NET_DMA use case is deprecated we can revisit moving the driver to use
threaded irqs. For now, just tear down the irq and tasklet properly by:
1/ Disable the irq from triggering the tasklet
2/ Disable the irq from re-arming
3/ Flush inflight interrupts
4/ Flush the timer
5/ Flush inflight tasklets
