dev_ioctl() already checks capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) before calling the
driver's implementation of MDIO ioctls.

<title>drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()</title>

The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq()
in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and
can lead to kernel instability.

The solution is to use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_restore()
to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().

Call trace:
netpoll_send_skb()
{
   -&gt; local_irq_save(flags)
     ---&gt; dev-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev)
         ---&gt; spin_lock_irq()
         ---&gt; spin_unlock_irq() *******here would enable the interrupt.
              ...
   -&gt; local_irq_restore(flags)
}

<content type='text'>
This patch converts the remaining occurences of raw return values to their
symbolic counterparts in ndo_start_xmit() functions that were missed by the
previous automatic conversion.

Additionally code that assumed the symbolic value of NETDEV_TX_OK to be zero
is changed to explicitly use NETDEV_TX_OK.

This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert
all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK.

Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be
handled in a seperate patch.
