e1000 calls update_request before registering said request with pm_qos.
This was silently ignored before but now emits a warning. The warning
is sound, because it means, that the constraint-request didn't take
effect.

The right thing is probably to register the request before
calling update_request.

Attached patch moves the registering from e1000_up to e1000_open and
the unregistering from e1000_down to e1000_close.
It is only compile-tested as I don't have the hardware.

Cheers,
Flo

p.s.: sorry if this get's mangled or is wrongly formatted, i'm just using
the "insert file" option of my mailclient and crossing my fingers...

Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: register pm_qos request on hardware activation

The pm_qos_add_request call has to register the pm_qos request with the pm_qos
susbsystem before first use of the pm_qos request via
pm_qos_update_request.

As pm_qos changed to use plists there is no benefit in registering and
unregistering the pm_qos request on ifup/ifdown and thus we move the
registering into e1000_open and the unregistering in e1000_close.

This fixes the following warning:
