[PATCH] sky2: fix hard hang with netconsoling and iface going up

Printing anything over netconsole before hw is up and running is,
of course, not going to work.

Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <redacted>

Alexey, can you get this tested by the reporter to make sure
it really fixes the hang?

I'm the reporter and tester and using this patch successfully. :-)

Once it's been tested, I'll apply it.

As for other printks, someone with 8139cp should experience the same bug.
