r8169: fix rtl8125b PAUSE frames blasting when suspended
When FIFO reaches near full state, device will issue pause frame. If pause slot is enabled(set to 1), in this time, device will issue pause frame only once. But if pause slot is disabled(set to 0), device will keep sending pause frames until FIFO reaches near empty state. When pause slot is disabled, if there is no one to handle receive packets, device FIFO will reach near full state and keep sending pause frames. That will impact entire local area network. This issue can be reproduced in Chromebox (not Chromebook) in developer mode running a test image (and v5.10 kernel): 1) ping -f $CHROMEBOX (from workstation on same local network) 2) run "powerd_dbus_suspend" from command line on the $CHROMEBOX 3) ping $ROUTER (wait until ping fails from workstation) Takes about ~20-30 seconds after step 2 for the local network to stop working. Fix this issue by enabling pause slot to only send pause frame once when FIFO reaches near full state.
