xen-netfront: use napi_complete() correctly to prevent Rx stalling
After d75b1ade567ffab085e8adbbdacf0092d10cd09c (net: less interrupt masking in NAPI) the napi instance is removed from the per-cpu list prior to calling the n->poll(), and is only requeued if all of the budget was used. This inadvertently broke netfront because netfront does not use NAPI correctly. If netfront had not used all of its budget it would do a final check for any Rx responses and avoid calling napi_complete() if there were more responses. It would still return under budget so it would never be rescheduled. The final check would also not re-enable the Rx interrupt. Additionally, xenvif_poll() would also call napi_complete() /after/ enabling the interrupt. This resulted in a race between the napi_complete() and the napi_schedule() in the interrupt handler. The use of local_irq_save/restore() avoided by race iff the handler is running on the same CPU but not if it was running on a different CPU. Fix both of these by always calling napi_compete() if the budget was not all used, and then calling napi_schedule() if the final checks says there's more work.
