[NET]: Separate two usages of netdev_max_backlog.
Separate out the two uses of netdev_max_backlog. One controls the upper bound on packets processed per softirq, the new name for this is netdev_budget; the other controls the limit on packets queued via netif_rx. Increase the max_backlog default to account for faster processors. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
