3.5.7.30 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Weinberger <richard at nod.at>

commit a926592f5e4e900f3fa903298c4619a131e60963 upstream.

rhine_reset_task() misses to disable the tx scheduler upon reset,
this can lead to a crash if work is still scheduled while we're resetting
the tx queue.

Fixes:
[   93.591707] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000004c
[   93.595514] IP: [<c119d10d>] rhine_napipoll+0x491/0x6
