Forcedeth currently uses disable_irq_lockdep and enable_irq_lockdep, which in
some configurations simply calls local_irq_disable. This causes errant warnings
in the netpoll path as in netpoll_send_skb_on_dev, where we disable irqs using
local_irq_save, leading to the following warning:

Fix it by modifying the forcedeth code to use
disable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsavedisable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsave instead,
which saves and restores irq state properly. This also saves us a little code
in the process
