net: enetc: take the MDIO lock only once per NAPI poll cycle
The workaround for the ENETC MDIO erratum caused a performance
degradation of 82 Kpps (seen with IP forwarding of two 1Gbps streams of
64B packets). This is due to excessive locking and unlocking in the fast
path, which can be avoided.
By taking the MDIO read-side lock only once per NAPI poll cycle, we are
able to regain 54 Kpps (65%) of the performance hit. The rest of the
performance degradation comes from the TX data path, but unfortunately
it doesn't look like we can optimize that away easily, even with
netdev_xmit_more(), there just isn't any skb batching done, to help with
taking the MDIO lock less often than once per packet.
We need to change the register accessor type for enetc_get_tx_tstamp,
because it now runs under the enetc_lock_mdio as per the new call path
detailed below:
enetc_msix
-> napi_schedule
-> enetc_poll
-> enetc_lock_mdio
-> enetc_clean_tx_ring
-> enetc_get_tx_tstamp
-> enetc_clean_rx_ring
-> enetc_unlock_mdio
