net: netcp: Fixes the use of spin_lock_bh in timer function
This patch fixes a bug in which the timer routine synchronized against the ethtool-triggered statistics updates with spin_lock_bh(). A timer function is itself a bottom-half, so this should be spin_lock(). Signed-off-by: WingMan Kwok <w-kwok2@ti.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
