Re: [RFC PATCH 2/2] netpoll: Don't poll for received packets

When calling drivers napi poll function pass it a budget of 0, to

Additionally remove the drop_mon tracepoint as nothing interesting
should be happening in netpoll, and running an arbitrary tracepoint
in irq context is probably a bad idea.
