Revert "net: remove zap_completion_queue"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This reverts commit 15e83ed.

As explained by Johannes Berg, the optimization made here is
invalid.  Or, at best, incomplete.

Not only destructor invocation, but conntract entry releasing
must be executed outside of hw IRQ context.

So just checking "skb->destructor" is insufficient.
