net/mlx4_en: Poll XDP TX completion queue in RX NAPI
Instead of having their own NAPIs, XDP TX completion queues get polled within the corresponding RX NAPI. This prevents any possible race on TX ring prod/cons indices, between the context that issues the transmits (RX NAPI) and the context that handles the completions (was previously done in a separate NAPI). This also improves performance, as it decreases the number of NAPIs running on a CPU, saving the overhead of syncing and switching between the contexts. Performance tests: Tested on ConnectX3Pro, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz Single queue no-RSS optimization ON.
