Subject: [PATCH net-next 6/6] mvneta: recycle buffers

Use the new recycling API for page_pool.
In a drop rate test, the packet rate increased di 10%,
from 269 Kpps to 296 Kpps.

perf top on a stock system shows:

Overhead  Shared Object     Symbol
  21.78%  [kernel]          [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area
  21.66%  [mvneta]          [k] mvneta_rx_swbm
   7.00%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_alloc
   6.05%  [kernel]          [k] eth_type_trans
   4.44%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_free.part.0
   3.80%  [kernel]          [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
   3.68%  [kernel]          [k] dev_gro_receive
   3.65%  [kernel]          [k] get_page_from_freelist
   3.43%  [kernel]          [k] page_pool_release_page
   3.35%  [kernel]          [k] free_unref_page

And this is the same output with recycling enabled:

Overhead  Shared Object     Symbol
  24.10%  [kernel]          [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area
  23.02%  [mvneta]          [k] mvneta_rx_swbm
   7.19%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_alloc
   6.50%  [kernel]          [k] eth_type_trans
   4.93%  [kernel]          [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
   4.77%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_free.part.0
   3.93%  [kernel]          [k] dev_gro_receive
   3.03%  [kernel]          [k] build_skb
   2.91%  [kernel]          [k] page_pool_put_page
   2.85%  [kernel]          [k] __xdp_return

The test was done with mausezahn on the TX side with 64 byte raw
ethernet frames.
