r8169: enable GRO software interrupt coalescing per default

Browse source

There are reports about r8169 not reaching full line speed on certain
systems (e.g. SBC's) with a 2.5Gbps link.
There was a time when hardware interrupt coalescing was enabled per
default, but this was changed due to ASPM-related issues on few systems.
So let's use software interrupt coalescing instead and enable it
using new function netdev_sw_irq_coalesce_default_on().

Even with these conservative settings interrupt load on my 1Gbps test
system reduced significantly.
