Orphan skb in ndo_start_xmit() breaks socket accounting and packet
queuing. This in fact breaks lots of things such as pktgen and several
TCP optimizations. And also make BQL can't be implemented for
virtio-net.
This patch tries to solve this issue by enabling tx interrupt. To
avoid introducing extra spinlocks, a tx napi was scheduled to free
those packets.
More tx interrupt mitigation method could be used on top.
