There are netpoll users (admittedly, out of tree) that make use of
packet receive.

kdump is one.

That's what all of the __netpoll_rx() et al. stuff is for.

Therefore we'll probably just have to enforce that if a netpoll
user wants RX packets, he has to invoke netpoll from a reasonable
context.

But if we're called from hardware interrupts, yes we block RX
processing.
