When using epoll-based busy poll, the packet budget is hardcoded to
BUSY_POLL_BUDGET (8). Users may desire larger busy poll budgets, which
can potentially increase throughput when busy polling under high network
load.

Other busy poll methods allow setting the busy poll budget via
SO_BUSY_POLL_BUDGET, but epoll-based busy polling uses a hardcoded
value.

Fix this edge case by adding support for a per-epoll context busy poll
packet budget. If not specified, the default value (BUSY_POLL_BUDGET) is
used.
