PATCH 12/13 forcedeth: fix irq clearing and napi spin lock changes

This patch clears the irqstatus register with the exact same events it has read from it. Since the read-write operation is not atomic, a new irqstatus bit could have been set in between these operations and would then be cleared accidentally.

Secondly, we now don't need any spin lock protection when scheduling/completing napi poll as the isr will not execute anymore (as we turn off all interrupts now).
