If the budget is zero, the function wouldn't be called.
a7b8d60b3723 ("r8152: check budget for r8152_poll") avoids it.

A bulk transfer may contain many packets, so the work_done may be more than budget.
That is why I queue the packets in the driver before this patch.
For example, if a bulk transfer contains 70 packet and budget is 64,
napi_gro_receive would be called for the first 64 packets and 6 packets would
be queued in driver for next schedule. After this patch, napi_gro_receive() would
be called for the 70 packets, even the budget is 64. And the remained bulk transfers
would be handled for next schedule.
