The code was changed to "napi_safe", the desc should reflect this ;-)

I do like the code cleanup.
It is worth explaining/mentioning that where budget==0 comes from?

(Cc. Alex, please correct me.)
My understanding is that this is caused by netconsole/netpoll (see
net/core/netpoll.c func poll_one_napi()), which is a kernel (net)console
debugging facility sending UDP packets via using only TX side of
napi_poll.  Thus, we are really trying to protect against doing these
recycle tricks for when netpoll/netconcole is running (which I guess
makes sense as we are likely printing/sending an OOPS msg over UDP).
