[PATCH] ixgb: fix ixgb_intr looping checks

This patch undoes a change that we believe will impact performance
adversely, by creating possibly too long a delay between servicing
completions.  The comment pretty much explains it.  We need to call both
cleanup routines each pass through the loop, this time we have a comment
explaining why.
