mlxbf_gige: disable RX filters until RX path initialized
A recent change to the driver exposed a bug where the MAC RX filters (unicast MAC, broadcast MAC, and multicast MAC) are configured and enabled before the RX path is fully initialized. The result of this bug is that after the PHY is started packets that match these MAC RX filters start to flow into the RX FIFO. And then, after rx_init() is completed, these packets will go into the driver RX ring as well. If enough packets are received to fill the RX ring (default size is 128 packets) before the call to request_irq() completes, the driver RX function becomes stuck. This bug is intermittent but is most likely to be seen where the oob_net0 interface is connected to a busy network with lots of broadcast and multicast traffic. All the MAC RX filters must be disabled until the RX path is ready, i.e. all initialization is done and all the IRQs are installed.
