nfp: provide 256 bytes of XDP headroom in all configurations
For legacy reasons NFP FW may be compiled to DMA packets to a constant offset into the buffer and use the space before it for metadata. This ensures that packets data always start at a certain offset regardless of the amount of preceding metadata. If rx offset is set to 0 there may still be up to 64 bytes of metadata but metadata will start at the beginning of the buffer, instead of: data_start_offset = rx_offset - meta_len Even though we make the buffers larger to accommodate up to 64 bytes of metadata, if there is only N bytes of metadata, we will end up with N bytes of headroom and 64 - N bytes of tailroom. Therefore we can't rely on that space for XDP headroom. Make sure we always allocate full 256 bytes. This, unfortunately, means we can't fit the headroom on an u8 any more.
