Jason Xing 8da7bea7db xsk: add indirect call for xsk_destruct_skb
Since Eric proposed an idea about adding indirect call wrappers for
UDP and managed to see a huge improvement[1], the same situation can
also be applied in xsk scenario.

This patch adds an indirect call for xsk and helps current copy mode
improve the performance by around 1% stably which was observed with
IXGBE at 10Gb/sec loaded. If the throughput grows, the positive effect
will be magnified. I applied this patch on top of batch xmit series[2],
and was able to see <5% improvement from our internal application
which is a little bit unstable though.

Use INDIRECT wrappers to keep xsk_destruct_skb static as it used to
be when the mitigation config is off.

Be aware of the freeing path that can be very hot since the frequency
can reach around 2,000,000 times per second with the xdpsock test.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
