lan78xx: Introduce NAPI polling support
This patch introduces a NAPI-style approach for processing completed Rx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing CPU load. Packets in completed URBs are copied to NAPI SKBs and passed to the network stack for processing. Each frame passed to the stack is one work item in the NAPI budget. If the NAPI budget is consumed and frames remain, they are added to an overflow queue that is processed at the start of the next NAPI polling cycle. The NAPI handler is also responsible for copying pending Tx data to Tx URBs and submitting them to the USB host controller for transmission.
