If we cannot allocate RX buffers in the NAPI poll loop when processing
an RX event, the current code does not count that event towards the NAPI
budget.  This can cause us to potentially loop forever in NAPI if we
consistently cannot allocate new buffers.  Improve it by counting
-ENOMEM event as 1 towards the NAPI budget.
