e1000e: stop unnecessary polling when using msi-x
The last hunk of this commit: commit 12d04a3c Author: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com> Date: Wed Mar 25 22:05:03 2009 +0000 e1000e: commonize tx cleanup routine to match e1000 & igb changed the logic for determining if we should call napi_complete or not at then end of a napi poll. If the NIC is using MSI-X with no work to do in ->poll, net_rx_action can just spin indefinitely on older kernels and for 2 jiffies on newer kernels since napi_complete is never called and budget isn't decremented. Discovered and verified while testing driver backport to an older kernel.
