Improve the performance of the AF_XDP zero-copy Tx completion path. When there are no XDP buffers being sent using XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT, we do not have go through the SW ring to clean up any entries since the AF_XDP path does not use these. In these cases, just fast forward the next-to-use counter and skip going through the SW ring. The limit on the maximum number of entries to complete is also removed since the algorithm is now O(1). To simplify the code path, the maximum number of entries to complete for the XDP path is therefore also increased from 256 to 512 (the default number of Tx HW descriptors). This should be fine since the completion in the XDP path is faster than in the SKB path that has 256 as the maximum number. This patch provides around 4% throughput improvement for the l2fwd application in xdpsock on my machine.

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.
