Jesper Dangaard Brouer a3a8749d34 ixgbe: bulk free SKBs during TX completion cleanup cycle
There is an opportunity to bulk free SKBs during reclaiming of
resources after DMA transmit completes in ixgbe_clean_tx_irq.  Thus,
bulk freeing at this point does not introduce any added latency.

Simply use napi_consume_skb() which were recently introduced.  The
napi_budget parameter is needed by napi_consume_skb() to detect if it
is called from netpoll.

Benchmarking IPv4-forwarding, on CPU i7-4790K @4.2GHz (no turbo boost)
 Single CPU/flow numbers: before: 1982144 pps ->  after : 2064446 pps
 Improvement: +82302 pps, -20 nanosec, +4.1%
 (SLUB and GCC version 5.1.1 20150618 (Red Hat 5.1.1-4))
