r8169:fix "rtl_counters_cond == 1 (loop: 1000, delay: 10)" log spam.
There will be a log spam when there is no cable plugged. Please refer to following links. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104351 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107421 This issue is caused by runtime power management. When there is no cable plugged, the driver will be suspend (runtime suspend) by OS and NIC will be put into the D3 state. During this time, if OS call rtl8169_get_stats64() to dump tally counter, because NIC is in D3 state, the register value read by driver will return all 0xff. This will let driver think tally counter flag is not toggled and then sends the warning message "rtl_counters_cond == 1 (loop: 1000, delay: 10)" to kernel log. For fixing this issue, 1.add checking driver's pm runtime status in rtl8169_get_stats64(). 2.dump tally counter before going runtime suspend for counter accuracy in runtime suspend.
