xsk: add helper to get &xdp_desc's DMA and meta pointer in one go
Currently, when your driver supports XSk Tx metadata and you want to send an XSk frame, you need to do the following: * call external xsk_buff_raw_get_dma(); * call inline xsk_buff_get_metadata(), which calls external xsk_buff_raw_get_data() and then do some inline checks. This effectively means that the following piece: addr = pool->unaligned ? xp_unaligned_add_offset_to_addr(addr) : addr; is done twice per frame, plus you have 2 external calls per frame, plus this: meta = pool->addrs + addr - pool->tx_metadata_len; if (unlikely(!xsk_buff_valid_tx_metadata(meta))) is always inlined, even if there's no meta or it's invalid. Add xsk_buff_raw_get_ctx() (xp_raw_get_ctx() to be precise) to do that in one go. It returns a small structure with 2 fields: DMA address, filled unconditionally, and metadata pointer, non-NULL only if it's present and valid. The address correction is performed only once and you also have only 1 external call per XSk frame, which does all the calculations and checks outside of your hotpath. You only need to check `if (ctx.meta)` for the metadata presence. To not copy any existing code, derive address correction and getting virtual and DMA address into small helpers. bloat-o-meter reports no object code changes for the existing functionality.
