This will delay NAPI until "some random point in the future" for
instance if an interrupt on _this_ CPU fires. You only set the softirq
state and never enforce it here. This works as intended if invoked from
an IRQ but this here a worker/ process context.

You can either put local_bh_disable()/enable() around napi_schedule() or
use it from a timer callback and skip the worker.
