Thanks guys for the suggestions here! Finally got some time for
this, so here is the patch I'm going to queue shortly.

Subject: [PATCH net] igb: fix netpoll exit with traffic
To: netdev,
Oleksandr Natalenko <oleksandr@...alenko.name>
Cc: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, "Brandeburg, Jesse" <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>, "Nguyen, Anthony L" <anthony.l.nguyen@...el.com>, "David S.

Oleksandr brought a bug report where netpoll causes trace messages in
the log on igb.
[22038.710800] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[22038.710801] igb_poll+0x0/0x1440 [igb] exceeded budget in poll
[22038.710802] WARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 40362 at net/core/netpoll.c:155 netpoll_poll_dev+0x18a/0x1a0
After some discussion and debug from the list, it was deemed that the
right thing to do is initialize the clean_complete variable to false
when the "netpoll mode" of passing a zero budget is used.
This logic should be sane and not risky because the only time budget
should be zero on entry is netpoll. Change includes a small refactor
of local variable assignments to clean up the look.
Fixes: 16eb8815c235 ("igb: Refactor clean_rx_irq to reduce overhead and improve performance")

Compile tested ONLY, but functionally it should be exactly the same for
all cases except when budget is zero on entry, which will hopefully fix
the bug.
