====================
netpoll: Cleanup received packet processing
This is the long-winded, careful, and polite version of removing the netpoll
receive packet processing.
First I untangle the code in small steps. Then I modify the code to not
force reception and dropping of packets when we are transmiting a packet
with netpoll. Finally I move all of the packet reception under
CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP and delete CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP.
If someone wants to do a stable backport of these patches, it would
require backporting the first 18 patches that handle the budget == 0 in
the networking drivers, and the first 6 of these patches.
If anyone wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception someday it should
just be a matter of reverting the last patch.
