net: fec: add fec_enet_rx_queue_xdp() for XDP path
This commit separates XDP path packet processing from protocol stack
processing by creating a dedicated fec_enet_rx_queue_xdp() function.
The goal is to optimize XDP performance by removing unnecessary code
paths that were interleaved with regular packet processing.

When fec_build_skb() fails, it already returns the page to the page pool
via page_pool_recycle_direct():
static struct sk_buff *fec_build_skb(...)
{
skb = build_skb(page_address(page), ...);
if (unlikely(!skb)) {
page_pool_recycle_direct(rxq->page_pool, page);
...
return NULL;
}
...
}
Calling fec_xdp_drop() after fec_build_skb() returns NULL will return
the same page to the pool a second time. Can this cause page pool
corruption under memory pressure when build_skb() fails?
