David S. Miller 6f53576316 [NET]: Fix NAPI completion handling in some drivers. 
In order for the list handling in net_rx_action() to be
correct, drivers must follow certain rules as stated by
this comment in net_rx_action():

		/* Drivers must not modify the NAPI state if they
		 * consume the entire weight.  In such cases this code
		 * still "owns" the NAPI instance and therefore can
		 * move the instance around on the list at-will.
		 */

A few drivers do not do this because they mix the budget checks
with reading hardware state, resulting in crashes like the one
reported by takano@axe-inc.co.jp.

BNX2 and TG3 are taken care of here, SKY2 fix is from Stephen
Hemminger.
