mv643xx_eth: fix double add_timer() on the receive oom timer
Commit 12e4ab79cd828563dc090d2117dc8626b344bc8f ("mv643xx_eth: be more agressive about RX refill") changed the condition for the receive out-of-memory timer to be scheduled from "the receive ring is empty" to "the receive ring is not full". This can lead to a situation where the receive out-of-memory timer is pending because a previous rxq_refill() didn't manage to refill the receive ring entirely as a result of being out of memory, and rxq_refill() is then called again as a side effect of a packet receive interrupt, and that rxq_refill() call then again does not succeed to refill the entire receive ring with fresh empty skbuffs because we are still out of memory, and then tries to call add_timer() on the already scheduled out-of-memory timer. This patch fixes this issue by changing the add_timer() call in rxq_refill() to a mod_timer() call. If the OOM timer was not already scheduled, this will behave as before, whereas if it was already scheduled, this patch will push back its firing time a bit, which is safe because we've (unsuccessfully) attempted to refill the receive ring just before we do this.
