It is now easy to add busy polling support to a NAPI driver,
with very little impact on normal input path.

This patch serves as a reference implementation.

Note:

A followup patch will add proper napi_complete_done() in mlx5,
so that LINUX_MIB_BUSYPOLLRXPACKETS snmp counter is properly handled.

Tested:

Normal TCP_RR results without busy polling :

lpk51:~# echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read
lpk52:~# echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read

lpk51:~# ./netperf -H 192.168.4.52 -t TCP_RR -l 10
MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 
192.168.4.52 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0
Local /Remote
Socket Size   Request  Resp.   Elapsed  Trans.

16384  87380

Now enable busy polling :

lpk51:~# echo 70 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read
lpk52:~# echo 70 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read

lpk51:~# ./netperf -H 192.168.4.52 -t TCP_RR -l 10

16384  87380
