The writeback enable logic was incorrectly implemented (due to misunderstanding what the side effects of the implementation would be during polling). Fix this logic issue, while implementing a new feature allowing the user to control the writeback frequency using the knobs for controlling interrupt throttling that we already have. Basically if you leave adaptive interrupts enabled, the writeback frequency will be varied even if busy_polling or if napi-poll is in use. If the interrupt rates are set to a fixed value by ethtool -C and adaptive is off, the driver will allow the user-set interrupt rate to guide how frequently the hardware will complete descriptors to the driver. Effectively the user will get a control over the hardware efficiency, allowing the choice between immediate interrupts or delayed up to a maximum of the interrupt rate, even when interrupts are disabled during polling.
