net: fec: improve XDP_TX performance

Browse source

As suggested by Jesper and Alexander, we can avoid converting xdp_buff
to xdp_frame in case of XDP_TX to save a bunch of CPU cycles, so that
we can further improve the XDP_TX performance.

Before this patch on i.MX8MP-EVK board, the performance shows as follows.
root@imx8mpevk:~# ./xdp2 eth0
proto 17:     353918 pkt/s
proto 17:     352923 pkt/s
proto 17:     353900 pkt/s
proto 17:     352672 pkt/s
proto 17:     353912 pkt/s
proto 17:     354219 pkt/s

After applying this patch, the performance is improved.
root@imx8mpevk:~# ./xdp2 eth0
proto 17:     369261 pkt/s
proto 17:     369267 pkt/s
proto 17:     369206 pkt/s
proto 17:     369214 pkt/s
proto 17:     369126 pkt/s
proto 17:     369272 pkt/s
