Here we have a lock per (enqueued) packet.  I'm working on changing the
ndo_xdp_xmit API to allow bulking.  And the tun driver have exact same
issue/need.  

Probably I should have noted in commitlog, but this per-packet lock is
removed in patch 9.
I'm curious about if any change is needed by your new API.

Again, I'm just moving this into the generic code, to avoid having to
implement this for every driver.

Plus, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE we have the advantage of only calling
ndo_xdp_xmit once (indirect function pointer call).
