Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tulip: hardware mitigation simplify

The hardware mitigation in tulip can be simpified.
1. The budget with new NAPI will always be less than RX_RING_SIZE
   because RX_RING_SIZE is 128 and weight is 16.
2. The received counter is redundunt, just use the work_done value.
3. Only one value is used from the mit_table[]
