netif_rx() now disables bottom halves, which causes the USB gadget to be
unable to receive frames if the interface is not brought up quickly enough
after being created by the driver (a bug confirmed on AM3352 SoC).

Replacing netif_rx() with __netif_rx() restores the old behavior and fixes
the bug. This can be done since rx_callback() is called from the interrupt
context.

Fixes: baebdf48c360 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context.")

Now that I see v3, my v2 question stands.
This supposed only to disable BH if invoked from from non-interrupt.
hardirq and softirq should be good. A backtrace would be nice and further
explanation how this becomes a problem. Also lockdep should complain at
some point.
