tg3: Fix RSS ring refill race condition
The RSS feature in tg3 hardware has only one rx producer ring for all RSS rings. NAPI vector 1 is special and handles the refilling of the rx producer ring on behalf of all RSS rings. There is a race condition between these RSS NAPIs and the NAPI[1]. If NAPI[1] finishes checking for refill and then another RSS ring empties the rx producer ring before NAPI[1] exits NAPI, the chip will be completely out of SKBs in the rx producer ring. We fix this by adding a flag tp->rx_refill and rely on napi_schedule()/ napi_complete() to help synchronize it to close the race condition. Update driver version to 3.123.
