netpoll: make ndo_poll_controller() optional
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. It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller(). NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev() uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered NAPI contexts for a device. This patch allows netpoll_poll_dev() to process NAPI contexts even for drivers not providing ndo_poll_controller(), allowing for following patches in NAPI drivers. Also we export netpoll_poll_dev() so that it can be called by bonding/team drivers in following patches.
