[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-next 04/14] libeth: allow to create fill queues without NAPI

From: Pavan Kumar Linga <pavan.kumar.linga at intel.com>

Control queues can utilize libeth_rx fill queues, despite working
outside of NAPI context. The only problem is standard fill queues requiring
NAPI that provides them with the device pointer.

Introduce a way to provide the device directly without using NAPI.
