Subject: [49/90] b44: Fix wedge when using netconsole.

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

[ Upstream commit 0cae200eec6330cd2c20b24279597be1da50dc93 ]

Fixes kernel bugzilla #14691

Due to the way netpoll works, it is perfectly legal to see
NAPI already scheduled when new device events are pending
in b44_interrupt().

So logging a message about it is wrong and in fact harmful.

Based upon a patch by Andreas Mohr.
