[PATCH][net-next] virtio_net: skip RCU read lock by checking xdp_enabled of vi

From: Li RongQing <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-09 09:41:00

networking benchmark shows that __rcu_read_lock and
__rcu_read_unlock takes some cpu cycles, and we can avoid
calling them partially in virtio rx path by check xdp_enabled
of vi, and xdp is disabled most of time
