selftests/xsk: adjust packet pacing for multi-buffer support
Modify the packet pacing algorithm so that it works with multi-buffer packets. This algorithm makes sure we do not send too many buffers to the receiving thread so that packets have to be dropped. The previous algorithm made the assumption that each packet only consumes one buffer, but that is not true anymore when multi-buffer support gets added. Instead, we find out what the largest packet size is in the packet stream and assume that each packet will consume this many buffers. This is conservative and overly cautious as there might be smaller packets in the stream that need fewer buffers per packet. But it keeps the algorithm simple. Also simplify it by removing the pthread conditional and just test if there is enough space in the Rx thread before trying to send one more batch. Also makes the tests run faster.
