tap: XDP support



This patch tries to implement XDP for tun. The implementation was
split into two parts:

- fast path: small and no gso packet. We try to do XDP at page level
  before build_skb(). For XDP_TX, since creating/destroying queues
  were completely under control of userspace, it was implemented
  through generic XDP helper after skb has been built. This could be
  optimized in the future.
- slow path: big or gso packet. We try to do it after skb was created
  through generic XDP helpers.

Test were done through pktgen with small packets.

xdp1 test shows ~41.1% improvement:

Before: ~1.7Mpps
After:  ~2.3Mpps

xdp_redirect to ixgbe shows ~60% improvement:

Before: ~0.8Mpps
After:  ~1.38Mpps
