loopif: only schedule poll when first packet is enqueued

Browse Source 
This optimizes the netif_loop_output to only schedule a call to poll when
the first packet is enqueued. This ensures netif_poll is ran once per
burst of packets that are sent (which is typical in a TCP transfer)

The old behavior scheduled a call to poll for every packet that was
enqueued and this lead to exhaustion of the MEMP_TCPIP_MSG_API memory pool
and tcpip_mbox (if port is using static mbox size). The extra callbacks are
wasted work because netif_poll drains the entire queue when ran

This issue presented itself when large TCP transfer go across the loopback
