[PATCH] e100: Fix race condition in e100_down() while testing

[prasanna.panchamukhi]

There is a race condition between e100_down() and e100_diag_test().
During device testing e100_diag_test() ends up calling e100_up()/e100_down()
even while the driver is already in e100_down().
This patch fixes the above race condition by changing
e100_up()/e100_down() to dev_open() and dev_close().
Also fixes the race between e100_open() and e100_diag_test().
