xsk: Fix handling of invalid descriptors in XSK TX batching API

xdpxceiver run on a AF_XDP ZC enabled driver revealed a problem with XSK
Tx batching API. There is a test that checks how invalid Tx descriptors
are handled by AF_XDP. Each valid descriptor is followed by invalid one
on Tx side whereas the Rx side expects only to receive a set of valid
descriptors.

In current xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch() function, the amount of
available descriptors is hidden inside xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch(). This
can be problematic in cases where invalid descriptors are present due to
the fact that xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() returns only a count of valid
descriptors. This means that it is impossible to properly update XSK
ring state when calling xskq_cons_release_n().

To address this issue, pull out the contents of
xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() so that callers (currently only
xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch()) will always be able to update the
state of ring properly, as total count of entries is now available and
use this value as an argument in xskq_cons_release_n(). By
doing so, xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() can be dropped altogether.
