Subject: [PATCH net] ionic: use dev_consume_skb_any outside of napi

If we're not in a NAPI softirq context, we need to be careful
about how we call napi_consume_skb(), specifically we need to
call it with budget==0 to signal to it that we're not in a
safe context.

This was found while running some configuration stress testing
of traffic and a change queue config loop running, and this
curious note popped out:

I found that ionic_tx_clean() calls napi_consume_skb() which calls
napi_skb_cache_put(), but before that last call is the note
    /* Zero budget indicate non-NAPI context called us, like netpoll */
and
    DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_softirq());

Those are pretty big hints that we're doing it wrong.  So, let's pass a 0
when we know we're not in a napi context.
