hv_netvsc: remove ndo_poll_controller



Similar to other patches from ERic.

As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can
be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu
calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI
contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture
can last for unlimited amount of time, since one
cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load.

In netvsc driver it uses NAPI for TX completions. The default
poll_napi will do this for us now and avoid the capture.
