r8169: fix network stalls due to missing bit TXCFG_AUTO_FIFO
Some of the chip-specific hw_start functions set bit TXCFG_AUTO_FIFO in register TxConfig. The original patch changed the order of some calls resulting in these changes being overwritten by rtl_set_tx_config_registers() in rtl_hw_start(). This eventually resulted in network stalls especially under high load. Analyzing the chip-specific hw_start functions all chip version from 34, with the exception of version 39, need this bit set. This patch moves setting this bit to rtl_set_tx_config_registers().
