Lorenz Bauer de21d8bf77 bpf: Do not invoke the XDP dispatcher for PROG_RUN with single repeat
We have a unit test that invokes an XDP program with 1m different
inputs, aka 1m BPF_PROG_RUN syscalls. We run this test concurrently
with slight variations in how we generated the input.

Since commit f23c4b3924 ("bpf: Start using the BPF dispatcher in BPF_TEST_RUN")
the unit test has slowed down significantly. Digging deeper reveals that
the concurrent tests are serialised in the kernel on the XDP dispatcher.
This is a global resource that is protected by a mutex, on which we contend.

Fix this by not calling into the XDP dispatcher if we only want to perform
a single run of the BPF program.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
