e1000e: stop unnecessary polling when using msi-x
The last hunk of this commit:

    commit 12d04a3c12b420f23398b4d650127642469a60a6
    Author: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>
    Date:   Wed Mar 25 22:05:03 2009 +0000

        e1000e: commonize tx cleanup routine to match e1000 & igb

changed the logic for determining if we should call napi_complete or
not at then end of a napi poll.

If the NIC is using MSI-X with no work to do in ->poll, net_rx_action
can just spin indefinitely on older kernels and for 2 jiffies on newer
kernels since napi_complete is never called and budget isn't
decremented.

Discovered and verified while testing driver backport to an older
kernel.
