[PATCH 2/2] net: thunderbolt: enlarge RX/TX ring and set NAPI weight for sustained load

[Benjamin Berman]

The default TBNET_RING_SIZE of 256 and the NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT of 64
implicit in netif_napi_add() are too small for host-to-host Thunderbolt
networking under sustained bulk traffic.  Running NCCL all-reduce over
tb-lo on a three-node chain (two TB3 endpoints plus a TB4 Maple Ridge
transit) produces rx_missed_errors at ~1 % of rx_packets on the transit
and ~0.6 % on the endpoints, with rx_packets stalling against a peer's
continuing tx_packets.

Raise TBNET_RING_SIZE to 2048 (8x) and use netif_napi_add_weight() with
a per-NAPI weight of 256 so tbnet_poll() drains more frames per softirq
invocation.  With matching sysctls (net.core.netdev_budget=1024,
net.core.netdev_budget_usecs=8000) rx_missed_errors stays below 0.005 %
over a 192 GB all-reduce workload on the same hardware.
