Subject: [PATCH 5.4 69/92] igb: fix netpoll exit with traffic

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit eaeace60778e524a2820d0c0ad60bf80289e292c ]

Oleksandr brought a bug report where netpoll causes trace
messages in the log on igb.

Danielle brought this back up as still occurring, so we'll try
again.

[22038.710800] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[22038.710801] igb_poll+0x0/0x1440 [igb] exceeded budget in poll
[22038.710802] WARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 40362 at net/core/netpoll.c:155 netpoll_poll_dev+0x18a/0x1a0

As Alex suggested, change the driver to return work_done at the
exit of napi_poll, which should be safe to do in this driver
because it is not polling multiple queues in this single napi
context (multiple queues attached to one MSI-X vector). Several
other drivers contain the same simple sequence, so I hope
this will not create new problems.
