[ Upstream commit 581073f626e387d3e7eed55c48c8495584ead7ba ]
trafgen performance considerably sank on hosts with many cores after the blamed commit.
packet_read_pending() is very expensive, and calling it in af_packet fast path defeats Daniel intent in commit b013840810c2 ("packet: use percpu mmap tx frame pending refcount")
tpacket_destruct_skb() makes room for one packet, we can immediately wakeup a producer, no need to completely drain the tx ring.
