bnx2x: avoid soft lockup in bnx2x_poll()
Under heavy TX load, bnx2x_poll() can loop forever and trigger soft lockup bugs. A napi poll handler must yield after one TX completion round, risk of livelock is too high otherwise. Bug is very easy to trigger using a debug build, and udp flood, because of added cpu cycles in TX completion, and we do not receive enough packets to break the loop.
