[PATCH iwl-next v1 0/2] igb/igc: use napi_schedule_irqoff() instead of napi_schedule()

[PATCH iwl-next v1 0/2] igb/igc: use napi_schedule_irqoff() instead of napi_schedule()

[Daiki Harada]

This patch set is meant to replace the calls to napi_schedule with
napi_schedule_irqoff as this should help to reduce the interrupt overhead
slightly by removing the unneeded call to local_irq_save and
local_irq_restore.

In the interrupt path, callers of napi_schedule() are invoked with local
IRQ disabled, so napi_schedule_irqoff() can be used instead.

This series applies the same optimization that was done for other drivers
in [1] to the igb/igc driver.
