Subject: [PATCH 014/135] ixgbe: Fix handling of NAPI budget when multiple
queues are enabled per vector
[ Upstream commit 5d6002b7b822c7423e75d4651e6790bfb5642b1b ]
This patch corrects an issue in which the polling routine would increase
the budget for Rx to at least 1 per queue if multiple queues were present.
This would result in Rx packets being processed when the budget was 0 which
is meant to indicate that no Rx can be handled.
