This change makes it so that the TX work limit is now obsolete.  Instead of
using it we can instead rely on the NAPI budget for the number of packets
we should clean per interrupt.  The advantage to this approach is that it
results in a much more balanced work flow since the same number of RX and
TX packets should be cleaned per interrupts.

This seems kind of sensible, but it's not how Dave has been recommending
people to account for TX work in NAPI.
