[NET]: Remove obsolete netif_rx congestion sensing mechanism.

Remove the congestion sensing mechanism from netif_rx, and always
return either full or empty.  Almost no driver checks the return value
from netif_rx, and those that do only use it for debug messages.

The original design of netif_rx was to do flow control based on the
receive queue, but NAPI has supplanted this and no driver uses the
feedback.
