net: bulk free SKBs that were delay free'ed due to IRQ context

The network stack defers SKBs free, in-case free happens in IRQ or
when IRQs are disabled. This happens in __dev_kfree_skb_irq() that
writes SKBs that were free'ed during IRQ to the softirq completion
queue (softnet_data.completion_queue).

These SKBs are naturally delayed, and cleaned up during NET_TX_SOFTIRQ
in function net_tx_action().  Take advantage of this a use the skb
defer and flush API, as we are already in softirq context.

For modern drivers this rarely happens. Although most drivers do call
dev_kfree_skb_any(), which detects the situation and calls
__dev_kfree_skb_irq() when needed.  This due to netpoll can call from
IRQ context.
