mlx4: avoid unnecessary dirtying of critical fields
While stressing a 40Gbit mlx4 NIC with busy polling, I found false
sharing in mlx4 driver that can be easily avoided.
This patch brings an additional 7 % performance improvement in UDP_RR
workload.
1) If we received no frame during one mlx4_en_process_rx_cq()
invocation, no need to call mlx4_cq_set_ci() and/or dirty ring->cons
2) Do not refill rx buffers if we have plenty of them.
This avoids false sharing and allows some bulk/batch optimizations.
Page allocator and its locks will thank us.
Finally, mlx4_en_poll_rx_cq() should not return 0 if it determined
cpu handling NIC IRQ should be changed. We should return budget-1
instead, to not fool net_rx_action() and its netdev_budget.
v2: keep AVG_PERF_COUNTER(... polled) even if polled is 0
