e1000e: don't inadvertently re-set INTX_DISABLE
commit 36f2407fe52c55566221f8c68c8fb808abffd2f5 upstream. Should e1000_test_msi() fail to see an msi interrupt, it attempts to fallback to legacy INTx interrupts. But an error in the code may prevent this from happening correctly. Before calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), e1000_test_msi() disables SERR by clearing the SERR bit from the just read PCI_COMMAND bits as it writes them back out. Upon return from calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), it re-enables SERR by writing out the version of PCI_COMMAND it had previously read. The problem with this is that e1000_test_msi_interrupt() calls pci_disable_msi(), which eventually ends up in pci_intx(). And because pci_intx() was called with enable set to 1, the INTX_DISABLE bit gets cleared from PCI_COMMAND, which is what we want. But when we get back to e1000_test_msi(), the INTX_DISABLE bit gets inadvertently re-set because of the attempt by e1000_test_msi() to re-enable SERR. The solution is to have e1000_test_msi() re-read the PCI_COMMAND bits as part of its attempt to re-enable SERR. During debugging/testing of this issue I found that not all the systems I ran on had the SERR bit set to begin with. And on some of the systems the same could be said for the INTX_DISABLE bit. Needless to say these latter systems didn't have a problem falling back to legacy INTx interrupts with the code as is.
