The issue arises because virtio is assuming it's running in NAPI context
even when it's not, such as in the netpoll case.

To resolve this, modify virtnet_poll_tx() to only set NAPI when budget
is available. Same for virtnet_poll_cleantx(), which always assumed that
it was in a NAPI context.

though I'm not sure I understand the connection with bdacf3e34945.
