r8169: disable ASPM

For some time is known that ASPM is causing troubles on r8169, i.e. make
device randomly stop working without any errors in dmesg.

Currently Tomi Leppikangas reports that system with r8169 device hangs
with MCE errors when ASPM is enabled:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642861#c4

Lets disable ASPM for r8169 devices at all, to avoid problems with
r8169 PCIe devices at least for some users.

I have to add (with shame on us) that we selfishly carry this patch
in RHEL6 for some time now.
