Subject: [PATCH net-next] net/mlx4_en: mlx4_en_netpoll() should schedule TX,
 not RX

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

I am not sure mlx4_en_netpoll() is doing anything useful right now.

mlx4 has different NAPI structures for RX and TX, and netpoll only wants
to drain TX queues.

Lets schedule NAPI polls on TX, not RX.
