Why bother when we know what the bug is and can fix it? :-)

commit d9452e9f81e997cbd0c9bface8d2c2a4b064cc3e
Author: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Date: Tue Mar 4 12:28:49 2008 -0800

[NETPOLL]: Revert two bogus cleanups that broke netconsole.

Based upon a report by Andrew Morton and code analysis done
by Jarek Poplawski.

This reverts 33f807ba0d9259e7c75c7a2ce8bd2787e5b540c7 ("[NETPOLL]:
Kill NETPOLL_RX_DROP, set but never tested.") and
c7b6ea24b43afb5749cb704e143df19d70e23dea ("[NETPOLL]: Don't need
rx_flags.").

The rx_flags did get tested for zero vs. non-zero and therefore we do
need those tests and that code which sets NETPOLL_RX_DROP et al.
