This is a followup of commit e20dfbad8a ("net: fix napi_consume_skb()
with alien skbs").
Now the per-cpu napi_skb_cache is populated from TX completion path,
we can make use of this cache, especially for cpus not used
from a driver NAPI poll (primary user of napi_cache).
We can use the napi_skb_cache only if current context is not from hard irq.
With this patch, I consistently reach 130 Mpps on my UDP tx stress test
and reduce SLUB spinlock contention to smaller values.
Note there is still some SLUB contention for skb->head allocations.
I had to tune /sys/kernel/slab/skbuff_small_head/cpu_partial
and /sys/kernel/slab/skbuff_small_head/min_partial depending
on the platform taxonomy.
