Subject: [net 1/3] i40e: fix un-necessary Tx hangs

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

When the driver was polling with interrupts disabled the hardware
will occasionally not write back descriptors.  This patch causes
the driver to detect this situation and force an interrupt to
fire which will flush the stuck descriptor.  Does not conflict
with NAPI because if we are already polling the napi_schedule is
ignored.  Additionally the extra interrupts are rate limited, so
don't cause a burden to the CPU.
