After making use of the gro_flush_timeout attribute I once got a tx timeout due to an interrupt that wasn't handled. Seems using irq_enabled can be racy, and it's not needed any longer anyway, so remove it. I've never seen a report about such a race before, therefore treat the change as an improvement. There's just one small drawback: If a legacy PCI interrupt is used, and if this interrupt is shared with a device with high interrupt rate, then we may handle interrupts even if NAPI disabled them, and we may see a certain performance decrease under high network load.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
