This patch performs various minor DQO TX datapath refactors in preparation for adding XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT support. The following refactors are performed: 1) gve_tx_fill_pkt_desc_dqo() relies on a SKB pointer to get whether checksum offloading should be enabled. This won't work for the XDP case, which does not have a SKB. This patch updates the method to use a boolean representing whether checksum offloading should be enabled directly. 2) gve_maybe_stop_dqo() contains some synchronization between the true TX head and the cached value, a synchronization which is common for XDP queues and normal netdev queues. However, that method is reserved for netdev TX queues. To avoid duplicate code, this logic is factored out into a new method, gve_has_tx_slots_available(). 3) gve_tx_update_tail() is added to update the TX tail, a functionality that will be common between normal TX and XDP TX codepaths.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
