I read this but it was unclear to me because it seems oriented towards
"combined" NAPI instances, while we have separate instances for RX and
TX. So even for TX-only instances, we can ignore budget?

The relevant variable (number of descriptors handled) is no longer
returned to axienet_tx_poll, so it can't update the current descriptor
properly.
