In the non-RT kernel, local_bh_disable() merely disables preemption,
whereas it maps to an actual spin lock in the RT kernel. Consequently,
when attempting to refill RX buffers via netdev_alloc_skb() in
macb_mac_link_up(), a deadlock scenario arises as follows:

   WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

   which lock already depends on the new lock.

Notably, invoking the mog_init_rings() callback upon link establishment
is unnecessary. Instead, we can exclusively call mog_init_rings() within
the ndo_open() callback. This adjustment resolves the deadlock issue.
Furthermore, since MACB_CAPS_MACB_IS_EMAC cases do not use mog_init_rings()
when opening the network interface via at91ether_open(), moving
mog_init_rings() to macb_open() also eliminates the MACB_CAPS_MACB_IS_EMAC
check.
