Subject: [PATCH] staging: Enhance cpu load-balance octeon ethernet driver


Currently, CPU for RX napi handler is scheduled when backlog packet count is greater than budget * cores_in_use.
If more cpus are used for RX napi handler, there is low possibility backlog packet count is greater than budget * cores_in_use.
This patch makes CPU for RX napi handler is scheduled when backlog packet count is greater than budget.
I tested with patch and the result is more cpu is scheduled in traffic congestion situation.
