Subject: ixgbe: remove ndo_poll_controller
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc6
Git-commit: b80e71a986c2ab5677dc6b84923cd7030b690800
References: bsc#1113994 FATE#326315 FATE#326317
As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can
be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu
calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI
contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture
can last for unlimited amount of time, since one
cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load.
ixgbe uses NAPI for TX completions, so we better let core
networking stack call the napi->poll() to avoid the capture.
