virtio_net: Differentiate sk_buff and xdp_frame on freeing

We do not reset or free up unused buffers when enabling/disabling XDP,
so it can happen that xdp_frames are freed after disabling XDP or
sk_buffs are freed after enabling XDP on xdp tx queues.
Thus we need to handle both forms (xdp_frames and sk_buffs) regardless
of XDP setting.
One way to trigger this problem is to disable XDP when napi_tx is
enabled. In that case, virtnet_xdp_set() calls virtnet_napi_enable()
which kicks NAPI. The NAPI handler will call virtnet_poll_cleantx()
which invokes free_old_xmit_skbs() for queues which have been used by
XDP.

Note that even with this change we need to keep skipping
free_old_xmit_skbs() from NAPI handlers when XDP is enabled, because XDP
tx queues do not aquire queue locks.

- v2: Use napi_consume_skb() instead of dev_consume_skb_any()
