commit 8d59de8f7bb3db296331c665779c653b0c8d13ba upstream.
Currently there is a race between incoming traffic and initialization flow. HW is able to receive the packets after INIT_PORT is done and unicast steering is configured. Before we set priv->port_up NAPI is not scheduled and receive queues become full. Therefore we never get new interrupts about the completions. This issue could happen if running heavy traffic during bringing port up. The resolution is to schedule NAPI once port_up is set. If receive queues were full this will process all cqes and release them.
