netdev: reshuffle netif_napi_add() APIs to allow dropping weight
Most drivers should not have to worry about selecting the right weight for their NAPI instances and pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT. It'd be best if we didn't require the argument at all and selected the default internally. This change prepares the ground for such reshuffling, allowing for a smooth transition. The following API should remain after the next release cycle: netif_napi_add() netif_napi_add_weight() netif_napi_add_tx() netif_napi_add_tx_weight() Where the _weight() variants take an explicit weight argument. I opted for a _weight() suffix rather than a __ prefix, because we use __ in places to mean that caller needs to also issue a synchronize_net() call.
