From: Julien Blais <webmas...@jbsky.fr>
This patch is submitted to the kernel.
For your information, this fixes the problem identified during a test with
iperf, the packet sending stall and above all the use of a 100% CPU
because of the softIRQ.

+Subject: [PATCH v2] mvneta: fix "napi poll" infinite loop
+
+In percpu mode, when there's a network load, one of the cpus can be
+solicited without having anything to process.
+If 0 is returned to napi poll, napi will ignore the next requests,
+causing an infinite loop with ISR handling.
+
+Without this change, patches hang around fixing the queue at 0 and
+the interrupt remains stuck on the 1st CPU.
+The percpu conf is useless in this case, so we might as well remove it.
