Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] netpoll: Use skb_irq_freeable to make zap_completion_queue safe.


Replace the test in zap_completion_queue to test when it is safe to
free skbs in hard irq context with skb_irq_freeable ensuring we only
free skbs when it is safe, and removing the possibility of subtle
problems.
