Andrey Smirnov b2b012afdd imx_fec: Change queue flushing heuristics
In current implementation, packet queue flushing logic seem to suffer
from a deadlock like scenario if a packet is received by the interface
before before Rx ring is initialized by Guest's driver. Consider the
following sequence of events:

	1. A QEMU instance is started against a TAP device on Linux
	   host, running Linux guest, e. g., something to the effect
	   of:

	   qemu-system-arm \
	      -net nic,model=imx.fec,netdev=lan0 \
	      netdev tap,id=lan0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no \
	      ... rest of the arguments ...

	2. Once QEMU starts, but before guest reaches the point where
	   FEC deriver is done initializing the HW, Guest, via TAP
	   interface, receives a number of multicast MDNS packets from
	   Host (not necessarily true for every OS, but it happens at
	   least on Fedora 25)

	3. Recieving a packet in such a state results in
	   imx_eth_can_receive() returning '0', which in turn causes
	   tap_send() to disable corresponding event (tap.c:203)

	4. Once Guest's driver reaches the point where it is ready to
	   recieve packets it prepares Rx ring descriptors and writes
	   ENET_RDAR_RDAR to ENET_RDAR register to indicate to HW that
	   more descriptors are ready. And at this points emulation
	   layer does this:

	   	 s->regs[index] = ENET_RDAR_RDAR;
                 imx_eth_enable_rx(s);

	   which, combined with:

	   	  if (!s->regs[ENET_RDAR]) {
		     qemu_flush_queued_packets(qemu_get_queue(s->nic));
		  }

	   results in Rx queue never being flushed and corresponding
	   I/O event beign disabled.

To prevent the problem, change the code to always flush packet queue
when ENET_RDAR transitions 0 -> ENET_RDAR_RDAR.
