mv643xx_eth: fix NAPI 'rotting packet' issue
When a receive interrupt occurs, mv643xx_eth would first process the
receive descriptors and then ACK the receive interrupt, instead of the
other way round.
This would leave a small race window between processing the last
receive descriptor and clearing the receive interrupt status in which
a new packet could come in, which would then 'rot' in the receive
ring until the next receive interrupt would come in.
Fix this by ACKing (clearing) the receive interrupt condition before
processing the receive descriptors.
