net: remove time limit in process_backlog()
- There is no point to enforce a time limit in process_backlog(), since
other napi instances dont follow same rule. We can exit after only one
packet processed...
The normal quota of 64 packets per napi instance should be the norm, and
net_rx_action() already has its own time limit.
Note : /proc/net/core/dev_weight can be used to tune this 64 default
value.
- Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED for softnet_data definition.
