When I fixed the GRO crash in the legacy receive path I used
napi_complete to replace __napi_complete.  Unfortunately they're
not the same when NETPOLL is enabled, which may result in us
not calling __napi_complete at all.

What's more, we really do need to keep the __napi_complete call
within the IRQ-off section since in theory an IRQ can occur in
between and fill up the backlog to the maximum, causing us to
lock up.

Since we can't seem to find a fix that works properly right now,
this patch reverts all the GRO support from the netif_rx path.
