Subject: rtlwifi: rtl8192se: Fix too long disable of IRQs

commit 2610decdd0b3808ba20471a999835cfee5275f98 upstream.

In commit f78bccd79ba3cd9d9664981b501d57bdb81ab8a4 entitled "rtlwifi:
rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs", Olivier Langlois
<olivier at trillion01.com> fixed a problem caused by an extra long disabling
of interrupts. This patch makes the same fix for rtl8192se.
