nit: thread-safe.

I also wonder whether you'd gain much from converting to
driver-internal locking, perhaps this comment is premature?

This function has to allocate + kfree_skb one too many skbs to break
out of the loop? Can it not observe the queue full based on rx_queued?

nit: later

what is the rationale for HZ / 2?

It's a bit odd to combine error branches with jump labels. I'd add
out_register_err: below
