Now that we correctly enable rx interrupts on all cores, performance has gotten
quite awful, because e.g. 4 packets will come in and get processed on 4
different cores at the same time, really battling with the TCP stack quite
painfully.  For now, just run one task at a time.

This gets performance up in most cases to where it was before the correctness
fixes that got interrupts to run on all cores (except in high-load TCP transmit
cases where all we're handling receive for is ACKs) and in some cases it's
better now.  What would be ideal would be to use a more advanced interrupt
mitigation strategy and possibly to use different workqueue groups per port for
multi-port systems, and so on, but this is a fine stopgap.
