net/mlx4_en: add page recycle to prepare rx ring for tx support The mlx4 driver by default allocates order-3 pages for the ring to consume in multiple fragments. When the device has an xdp program, this behavior will prevent tx actions since the page must be re-mapped in TODEVICE mode, which cannot be done if the page is still shared. Start by making the allocator configurable based on whether xdp is running, such that order-0 pages are always used and never shared. Since this will stress the page allocator, add a simple page cache to each rx ring. Pages in the cache are left dma-mapped, and in drop-only stress tests the page allocator is eliminated from the perf report. Note that setting an xdp program will now require the rings to be reconfigured.
