Even if there is more rx data waiting on the chip, the rx napi poll fn
will never run more than once - it will always read a few buffers, then
bail out and re-arm interrupts. Which results in ping-pong between napi
and interrupt.
This defeats the purpose of napi, and is bad for performance.
Fix by making the rx napi poll behave identically to other ethernet
drivers:
1. initialize rx napi polling with an arbitrary budget (64).
2. in the polling fn, return full weight if rx queue is not depleted,
this tells the napi core to "keep polling".
3. update the rx tail ("ring the doorbell") once for every 8 processed
rx ring buffers.
Thanks to Jakub Kicinski, Eric Dumazet and Andrew Lunn for their expert
opinions and suggestions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
