Forcedeth: increase max_interrupt_work

This eliminates the following often-generated warning from
my 64 bit Opteron SMP test stand:

	eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq

According to the web, the problem is that the forcedeth
driver has a too-low value for max_interrupt_work.
Grepping the kernel I see that forcedeth has the second
lowest value of all ethernet drivers (ie, 6).  Most are
in the 20-40 range.  So this patch increases this a bit,
from 6 to 15 (at 15 forcedeth becomes the driver with
third-lowest max_interrupt_work value).

My test stand, which used to print out the above warnings
repetitively whenever it was under heavy net load, no
longer does so.

I'll add that I also see this warning now and then.
