Rely on netif_receive_skb_list routine to send skbs converted from
xdp_frames in cpu_map_kthread_run in order to improve i-cache usage.
The proposed patch has been tested running xdp_redirect_cpu bpf sample
available in the kernel tree that is used to redirect UDP frames from
ixgbe driver to a cpumap entry and then to the networking stack. UDP
frames are generated using pktgen. Packets are discarded by the UDP
layer.
$ xdp_redirect_cpu --cpu <cpu> --progname xdp_cpu_map0 --dev <eth>
bpf-next: ~2.35Mpps
bpf-next + cpumap skb-list: ~2.72Mpps
Rename drops counter in kmem_alloc_drops since now it reports just
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk failures
