Approx 12 Mpps.

You forgot to handle the dma_direct_mapping_error() case, which still
used the retpoline in the above 8.9 Mpps measurement, I fixed it up and
performance increased to 9.6 Mpps.

Notice, in this test there are still two retpoline/indirect-calls
left.  The net_device->ndo_xdp_xmit and the invocation of the XDP BPF
prog.
