netpoll_poll_lock() synchronizes the ->poll() invocation
code paths, but once we have the lock we have to make
sure that NAPI_STATE_SCHED is still set.  Otherwise we
get:

cpu 0 cpu 1

net_rx_action() poll_napi()
netpoll_poll_lock() ... spin on ->poll_lock
->poll()
  netif_rx_complete
netpoll_poll_unlock() acquire ->poll_lock()
->poll()
 netif_rx_complete()
 CRASH

Based upon a bug report from Tina Yang.
