Nevermind, you're right.

I'll see if I can resurrect something akin to netif_rx_reschedule()
when I get back to the NAPI patches.  Probably what I'll do is let
the ->poll() handler make sure to accumulate 'rx' work counts if
it loops again on netif_rx_reschedule() instead of dorking with
the quota and budget in that helper function.
