Subject: net: eth: altera: fix napi poll_list corruption

From: Atsushi Nemoto <nemoto@toshiba-tops.co.jp>

[ Upstream commit 4548a697e4969d695047cebd6d9af5e2f6cc728e ]

tse_poll() calls __napi_complete() with irq enabled.  This leads napi
poll_list corruption and may stop all napi drivers working.
Use napi_complete() instead of __napi_complete().
