Santiago Leon e2adbcb480 [PATCH] ibmveth fix buffer replenishing 
This patch removes the allocation of RX skb's  buffers from a workqueue
to be called directly at RX processing time.  This change was suggested
by Dave Miller when the driver was starving the RX buffers and
deadlocking under heavy traffic:

> Allocating RX SKBs via tasklet is, IMHO, the worst way to
> do it.  It is no surprise that there are starvation cases.
>
> If tasklets or work queues get delayed in any way, you lose,
> and it's very easy for a card to catch up with the driver RX'ing
> packets very fast, no matter how aggressive you make the
> replenishing.  By the time you detect that you need to be
> "more aggressive" it is already too late.
> The only pseudo-reliable way is to allocate at RX processing time.
