[PATCH net-next v3 2/7] net: Suspend softirq when prefer_busy_poll is set

[Joe Damato <jdamato@fastly.com>]

From: Martin Karsten <mkarsten@uwaterloo.ca>

When NAPI_F_PREFER_BUSY_POLL is set during busy_poll_stop and the
irq_suspend_timeout is nonzero, this timeout is used to defer softirq
scheduling, potentially longer than gro_flush_timeout. This can be used
to effectively suspend softirq processing during the time it takes for
an application to process data and return to the next busy-poll.

The call to napi->poll in busy_poll_stop might lead to an invocation of
napi_complete_done, but the prefer-busy flag is still set at that time,
so the same logic is used to defer softirq scheduling for
irq_suspend_timeout.
