net: napi: Skip last poll when arming gro timer in busy poll

Skip the extra call to napi->poll(), if the gro timer is armed at the
end of busy polling. This removes the need for having a separate
__busy_poll_stop() routine and its code is moved directly into the
relevant places in busy_poll_stop(). Remove obsolete comment about
ndo_busy_poll_stop().

This is a follow-up to commit 58e2330bd4 ("net: napi: Avoid gro timer
misfiring at end of busypoll"), which has deferred arming the gro timer
to the end of __busy_poll_stop() to eliminate a race condition between
a short timer and long poll that could leave the queue stuck with
interrupts disabled and no timer armed.
