Subject: [RFC net-next 2/5] net: Suspend softirq when prefer_busy_poll is set

From: Martin Karsten <mkarsten@...terloo.ca>

When NAPI_F_PREFER_BUSY_POLL is set during busy_poll_stop and the
irq_suspend_timeout sysfs is nonzero, this timeout is used to defer
softirq scheduling, potentially longer than gro_flush_timeout. This can
be used to effectively suspend softirq processing during the time it
takes for an application to process data and return to the next
busy-poll.

The call to napi->poll in busy_poll_stop might lead to an invocation of
napi_complete_done, but the prefer-busy flag is still set at that time,
so the same logic is used to defer softirq scheduling for
irq_suspend_timeout.
