Add a new driver interface xsk_buff_alloc_batch() offering batched
buffer allocations to improve performance. The new interface takes
three arguments: the buffer pool to allocated from, a pointer to an
array of struct xdp_buff pointers which will contain pointers to the
allocated xdp_buffs, and an unsigned integer specifying the max number
of buffers to allocate. The return value is the actual number of
buffers that the allocator managed to allocate and it will be in the
range 0 <= N <= max, where max is the third parameter to the function.
u32 xsk_buff_alloc_batch(struct xsk_buff_pool *pool, struct xdp_buff **xdp,
u32 max);
A second driver interface is also introduced that need to be used in
conjunction with xsk_buff_alloc_batch(). It is a helper that sets the
size of struct xdp_buff and is used by the NIC Rx irq routine when
receiving a packet. This helper sets the three struct members data,
data_meta, and data_end. The two first ones is in the xsk_buff_alloc()
case set in the allocation routine and data_end is set when a packet
is received in the receive irq function. This unfortunately leads to
worse performance since the xdp_buff is touched twice with a long time
period in between leading to an extra cache miss. Instead, we fill out
the xdp_buff with all 3 fields at one single point in time in the
driver, when the size of the packet is known. Hence this helper. Note
that the driver has to use this helper (or set all three fields
itself) when using xsk_buff_alloc_batch(). xsk_buff_alloc() works as
before and does not require this.
void xsk_buff_set_size(struct xdp_buff *xdp, u32 size);

Introduce batched descriptor interfaces in the xsk core code for the
Tx path to be used in the driver to write a code path with higher
performance. This interface will be used by the i40e driver in the
next patch. Though other drivers would likely benefit from this new
interface too.
Note that batching is only implemented for the common case when
there is only one socket bound to the same device and queue id. When
this is not the case, we fall back to the old non-batched version of
the function.

Test for dma_need_sync earlier to increase
performance. xsk_buff_dma_sync_for_cpu() takes an xdp_buff as
parameter and from that the xsk_buff_pool reference is dug out. Perf
shows that this dereference causes a lot of cache misses. But as the
buffer pool is now sent down to the driver at zero-copy initialization
time, we might as well use this pointer directly, instead of going via
the xsk_buff and we can do so already in xsk_buff_dma_sync_for_cpu()
instead of in xp_dma_sync_for_cpu. This gets rid of these cache
misses.
Throughput increases with 3% for the xdpsock l2fwd sample application
on my machine.

Rename the AF_XDP zero-copy driver interface functions to better
reflect what they do after the replacement of umems with buffer
pools in the previous commit. Mostly it is about replacing the
umem name from the function names with xsk_buff and also have
them take the a buffer pool pointer instead of a umem. The
various ring functions have also been renamed in the process so
that they have the same naming convention as the internal
functions in xsk_queue.h. This so that it will be clearer what
they do and also for consistency.

Replace the explicit umem reference passed to the driver in AF_XDP
zero-copy mode with the buffer pool instead. This in preparation for
extending the functionality of the zero-copy mode so that umems can be
shared between queues on the same netdev and also between netdevs. In
this commit, only an umem reference has been added to the buffer pool
struct. But later commits will add other entities to it. These are
going to be entities that are different between different queue ids
and netdevs even though the umem is shared between them.

There are no users of MEM_TYPE_ZERO_COPY. Remove all corresponding

In order to simplify AF_XDP zero-copy enablement for NIC driver
developers, a new AF_XDP buffer allocation API is added. The
implementation is based on a single core (single producer/consumer)
buffer pool for the AF_XDP UMEM.
A buffer is allocated using the xsk_buff_alloc() function, and
returned using xsk_buff_free(). If a buffer is disassociated with the
pool, e.g. when a buffer is passed to an AF_XDP socket, a buffer is
said to be released. Currently, the release function is only used by
the AF_XDP internals and not visible to the driver.
Drivers using this API should register the XDP memory model with the
new MEM_TYPE_XSK_BUFF_POOL type.
The API is defined in net/xdp_sock_drv.h.
The buffer type is struct xdp_buff, and follows the lifetime of
regular xdp_buffs, i.e. the lifetime of an xdp_buff is restricted to
a NAPI context. In other words, the API is not replacing xdp_frames.
In addition to introducing the API and implementations, the AF_XDP
core is migrated to use the new APIs.

Move the AF_XDP zero-copy driver interface to its own include file
called xdp_sock_drv.h. This, hopefully, will make it more clear for
NIC driver implementors to know what functions to use for zero-copy
support.
