There is already a warning for this case in the normal netpoll path, but put a copy here in case how netpoll calls the poll functions causes a differenet result. netpoll will shortly call the napi poll routine with a budget 0 to avoid any rx packets being processed. As nothing does that today we may encounter drivers that have problems so a netpoll specific warning seems desirable. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
