[patch 09/74] gro: Flush GRO packets in napi_disable_pending path

From: Greg KH

2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ff780cd8f2fa928b193554f593b36d1243554212 ]

When NAPI is disabled while we're in net_rx_action, we end up
calling __napi_complete without flushing GRO packets. This is
a bug as it would cause the GRO packets to linger, of course it
also literally BUGs to catch error like this :)

This patch changes it to napi_complete, with the obligatory IRQ
reenabling. This should be safe because we've only just disabled
IRQs and it does not materially affect the test conditions in
between.
