[PATCH] r8169: fix ASPM-related issues on a number of systems with NIC version from RTL8168h

[Ma, Li]

[AMD Official Use Only - General]

Hi Greg KH & Heiner Kallweit,

Sorry for the trouble, this was sent to AMD internel. Because I want to backport this patch to avoid a problem caused by r8169.
I forgot to clean up the sent object.
Sorry again for the trouble caused by this misunderstanding.

Best Regads,
Li
