gianfar: Simplify MQ polling to avoid soft lockup
Under certain low traffic conditions, the single core devices with multiple Rx/Tx queues (MQ mode) may reach soft lockup due to gfar_poll not returning in proper time. The following exception was obtained using iperf on a 100Mbit half-duplex link, for a p1010 single core device: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s!

Also, there's no need to recompute the budget per Rx queue anymore. Signed-off-by: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
