ixgbe: Do all RX/TX processing in ithreads

* There is no need to launch taskqueues if there is more data to
  process, the next interrupt thread will handle it.

* This will be no later than 125µs in the general case anyway.

* This change can even increase performance by removing lock contention
  between ithreads and taskqueues trying to run at the same time.
