We used a channel state bit MLX5E_CHANNEL_NAPI_SCHED to make
sure no NAPI is missed when a channel's napi_schedule() is called
for completion events of the different channel's resources/rings
while NAPI is currently running.
Now, as similar mechanism is implemented in kernel,
("39e6c8208d7b net: solve a NAPI race"),
we obsolete our own implementation and rely on the return value
of napi_complete_done().

This patch removes a redundant overhead of atomic bit operations.
