The combination of r35942 and r35952 causes an issue where eth_schedule_poll()
can be called from a different CPU between the call to napi_complete() and the
setting of cur_index which can break the rx ring accounting and cause ethernet
latency and/or ethernet stalls. The issue can be easilly created by adding
a couple of artificial delays such as:

This patch moves the setting of cur_index back up where it needs to be and
addresses the original corner case that r35942 was trying to catch in an
improved fashion by checking to see if the rx descriptor ring has become
full before interrupts were re-enabled so that a poll can be scheduled again
and avoid an rx stall caused by rx interrupts ceasing to fire again.
