e1000: remove e1000_clean_tx_irq call from e1000_netpoll
The call to e1000_clean_tx_irq in e1000_netpoll can race with the call
to e1000_clean_tx_irq in e1000_clean. With a small bit of tweaking to
to netpoll_send_skb to simulate a system that was under extreme stress,
I was able to reproduce these concurrent calls. This can result in
multiple frees to the skbs on the tx ring buffer.
Dropping this call from e1000_netpoll should be fine since we can rely
on the calls in e1000_clean to do what is needed since napi will poll
the hardware just after calling poll_controller.
