Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] r8169: Implement dynamic ASPM mechanism
Date:   Thu, 12 Aug 2021 23:53:40 +0800

r8169 NICs on some platforms have abysmal speed when ASPM is enabled.
Same issue can be observed with older vendor drivers.

The issue is however solved by the latest vendor driver. There's a new
mechanism, which disables r8169's internal ASPM when the NIC traffic has
more than 10 packets, and vice versa.

Realtek confirmed that all their PCIe LAN NICs, r8106, r8168 and r8125
use dynamic ASPM under Windows. So implement the same mechanism here to
resolve the issue.

v2: 
 - Use delayed_work instead of timer_list to avoid interrupt context
 - Use mutex to serialize packet counter read/write
 - Wording change
