ice: Robustify cleaning/completing XDP Tx buffers
When queueing frames from a Page Pool for redirecting to a device backed by the ice driver, `perf top` shows heavy load on page_alloc() and page_frag_free(), despite that on a properly working system it must be fully or at least almost zero-alloc. The problem is in fact a bit deeper and raises from how ice cleans up completed Tx buffers. The story so far: when cleaning/freeing the resources related to a particular completed Tx frame (skbs, DMA mappings etc.), ice uses some heuristics only without setting any type explicitly (except for dummy Flow Director packets, which are marked via ice_tx_buf::tx_flags). This kinda works, but only up to some point. For example, currently ice assumes that each frame coming to __ice_xmit_xdp_ring(), is backed by either plain order-0 page or plain page frag, while it may also be backed by Page Pool or any other possible memory models introduced in future. This means any &xdp_frame must be freed properly via xdp_return_frame() family with no assumptions. In order to do that, the whole heuristics must be replaced with setting the Tx buffer/frame type explicitly, just how it's always been done via an enum. Let us reuse 16 bits from ::tx_flags -- 1 bit-and instr won't hurt much -- especially given that sometimes there was a check for %ICE_TX_FLAGS_DUMMY_PKT, which is now turned from a flag to an enum member. The rest of the changes is straightforward and most of it is just a conversion to rely now on the type set in &ice_tx_buf rather than to some secondary properties. For now, no functional changes intended, the change only prepares the ground for starting freeing XDP frames properly next step. And it must be done atomically/synchronously to not break stuff.
