- Clear current->blocked in the kernel thread.  We shouldn't
  be inheriting this from the process which opens the interface.

- Fixed a few printk warnings which are coming out
  when RTL8139_DEBUG is defined.

- Killed the undefined and unused module parm `debug' (finally!)

- Fixed a potential buffer overrun when setting current->comm[].

  Currently, if the user renames "eth0" to "my-nifty-realtek-nic"
  with SIOCSIFNAME and then tries to open it, the kernel thread
  will scrog its own task_struct.

  The kernel thread is now simply called "[eth0]".


I think it would be better to use boring old waitqueues for this
stuff, rather than signals....
