net: cpu offline cause napi stall

Frank Blaschka reported :

  During heavy network load we turn off/on cpus.
  Sometimes this causes a stall on the network device.
  Digging into the dump I found out following:

  napi is scheduled but does not run. From the I/O buffers
  and the napi state I see napi/rx_softirq processing has stopped
  because the budget was reached. napi stays in the
  softnet_data poll_list and the rx_softirq was raised again.

  I assume at this time the cpu offline comes in,
  the rx softirq is raised/moved to another cpu but napi stays in the
  poll_list of the softnet_data of the now offline cpu.

  Reviewing dev_cpu_callback (net/core/dev.c) I did not find the
  poll_list is transfered to the new cpu.

This patch is a straightforward implementation of Frank suggestion :

Transfert poll_list and trigger NET_RX_SOFTIRQ on new cpu.
