Subject: [PATCH net-next] virtio_net: bulk free tx skbs

Use napi_consume_skb() to get bulk free.  Note that napi_consume_skb is
safe to call in a non-napi context as long as the napi_budget flag is
correct.

My perf testing setup is down but it works fine on my devel box and
should be fairly uncontroversial.
