Eric Dumazet 229671ac60 net: remove cpu stall in txq_trans_update()
txq_trans_update() currently uses txq->xmit_lock_owner
to conditionally update txq->trans_start.

For regular devices, txq->xmit_lock_owner is updated
from HARD_TX_LOCK() and HARD_TX_UNLOCK(), and this apparently
causes cpu stalls.

Using dev->lltx, which sits in a read-mostly cache-line,
and already used in HARD_TX_LOCK() and HARD_TX_UNLOCK()
helps cpu prediction.

On an AMD EPYC 7B12 dual socket server, tcp_rr with 128 threads
and 30,000 flows gets a 5 % increase in throughput.

As explained in commit 95ecba62e2 ("net: fix races in
netdev_tx_sent_queue()/dev_watchdog()") I am planning
to no longer update txq->trans_start in the fast path
in a followup patch.
