Nick Child f128c7cf05 ibmveth: Optimize poll rescheduling process
When the ibmveth driver processes less than the budget, it must call
napi_complete_done() to release the instance. This function will
return false if the driver should avoid rearming interrupts.
Previously, the driver was ignoring the return code of
napi_complete_done(). As a result, there were unnecessary calls to
enable the veth irq.
Therefore, use the return code napi_complete_done() to determine if
irq rearm is necessary.

Additionally, in the event that new data is received immediately after
rearming interrupts, rather than just rescheduling napi, also jump
back to the poll processing loop since we are already in the poll
function (and know that we did not expense all of budget).

This slight tweak results in a 15% increase in TCP_RR transaction rate
(320k to 370k txns). We can see the ftrace data supports this:
PREV: ibmveth_poll = 8818014.0 us / 182802.0 hits = AVG 48.24
NEW:  ibmveth_poll = 8082398.0 us / 191413.0 hits = AVG 42.22

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
