islpci_eth_cleanup_transmit : called in interrupt context.
islpci_eth_receive : interrupt context.
islpci_eth_transmit : not in interrupt context.

But in islpci_eth_transmit irqs are disabled. According to
dev_kfree_skb_any code, we should call dev_kfree_skb_irq(). So the
change is needed. Let's go for dev_kfree_skb_any in islpci_eth_transmit.
But for the others the change is unneeded.
