[PATCH net-next 2/2] tuntap: free XDP dropped packets in a batch

[Jason Wang]

Thanks to the batched XDP buffs through msg_control. Instead of
calling put_page() for each page which involves a atomic operation,
let's batch them by record the last page that needs to be freed and
its refcnt count and free them in a batch.

Testpmd(virtio-user + vhost_net) + XDP_DROP shows 3.8% improvement.

Before: 4.71Mpps
After : 4.89Mpps
