Subject: [PATCH] vxge: fix GRO receive with INTA interrupts

TCP receiving in vxge is extremely slow when using INTA interrupts.
The bug is that vxge_poll_inta() receives frames on ring->napi's
gro_list, but never flushes GRO for this napi_struct, because there's
a second napi_struct in struct vxgedev.
There's no need for the second napi_struct. We can use ring->napi
only. When vxge has to fallback to INTA, we know there will be exactly
one vpath (and exactly one vxge_ring). This change results in a cleanup
too.
Tested successfully with netperf, booted with and without pci=nomsi.
