[PATCH v3 net-next 2/2] net: introduce budget_squeeze to help us tune rx behavior

[Jason Xing]

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When we encounter some performance issue and then get lost on how
to tune the budget limit and time limit in net_rx_action() function,
we can separately counting both of them to avoid the confusion.

v3:
1) drop the comment suggested by Simon

v2:
1) change the coding style suggested by Stephen and Simon
2) Keep the display of the old data (time_squeeze) untouched suggested
by Kui-Feng
