[NET]: Fix NAPI completion handling in some drivers.
In order for the list handling in net_rx_action() to be
correct, drivers must follow certain rules as stated by
this comment in net_rx_action():
/* Drivers must not modify the NAPI state if they
* consume the entire weight. In such cases this code
* still "owns" the NAPI instance and therefore can
* move the instance around on the list at-will.
*/
A few drivers do not do this because they mix the budget checks
with reading hardware state, resulting in crashes like the one
reported by takano@axe-inc.co.jp.
BNX2 and TG3 are taken care of here, SKY2 fix is from Stephen
Hemminger.
