    Fix io ordering problems in e100

    Checking e100.c code against Documentation/io_ordering.txt I found the
    following problem:

    spin_lock_irq...
    write
    spin-unlock
    e100_write_flush

    The attached patch fix the code like this:

    spin_lock_irq...
    write
    e100_write_flush
    spin-unlock
