Subject: [PATCH] net: remove zap_completion_queue

netpoll does an interesting work in zap_completion_queue(), but this was
before we did skb orphaning before delivering packets to device.

It now makes sense to add a test in dev_kfree_skb_irq() to not queue a
skb if already orphaned, and to remove netpoll zap_completion_queue() as
a bonus.
