[RFC PATCH net-next 4/6] net: modify kthread handler to use __napi_poll()

[Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com>]

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> 

The current kthread handler calls napi_poll() and has to pass a dummy
repoll list to the function, which seems redundent. The new proposed
kthread handler calls the newly proposed __napi_poll(), and respects
napi->weight as before. If repoll is needed, cond_resched() is called
first to give other tasks a chance to run before repolling.
This change is proposed by Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> on top of
the previous patch.
