Merge branch 'xdp_xmit-bulking'

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says:

====================
This patchset change ndo_xdp_xmit API to take a bulk of xdp frames.

When kernel is compiled with CONFIG_RETPOLINE, every indirect function
pointer (branch) call hurts performance. For XDP this have a huge
negative performance impact.

This patchset reduce the needed (indirect) calls to ndo_xdp_xmit, but
also prepares for further optimizations.  The DMA APIs use of indirect
function pointer calls is the primary source the regression.  It is
left for a followup patchset, to use bulking calls towards the DMA API
(via the scatter-gatter calls).

The other advantage of this API change is that drivers can easier
amortize the cost of any sync/locking scheme, over the bulk of
packets.  The assumption of the current API is that the driver
implemementing the NDO will also allocate a dedicated XDP TX queue for
every CPU in the system.  Which is not always possible or practical to
configure. E.g. ixgbe cannot load an XDP program on a machine with
more than 96 CPUs, due to limited hardware TX queues.  E.g. virtio_net
is hard to configure as it requires manually increasing the
queues. E.g. tun driver chooses to use a per XDP frame producer lock
modulo smp_processor_id over avail queues.

I'm considered adding 'flags' to ndo_xdp_xmit, but it's not part of
this patchset.  This will be a followup patchset, once we know if this
will be needed (e.g. for non-map xdp_redirect flush-flag, and if
AF_XDP chooses to use ndo_xdp_xmit for TX).

V5: Fixed up issues spotted by Daniel and John

V4: Splitout the patches from 4 to 8 patches.  I cannot split the
driver changes from the NDO change, but I've tried to isolated the NDO
change together with the driver change as much as possible.
