xen-netback: Introduce TX grant mapping
This patch introduces grant mapping on netback TX path. It replaces grant copy
operations, ditching grant copy coalescing along the way. Another solution for
copy coalescing is introduced in "xen-netback: Handle guests with too many
frags", older guests and Windows can broke before that patch applies.
There is a callback (xenvif_zerocopy_callback) from core stack to release the
slots back to the guests when kfree_skb or skb_orphan_frags called. It feeds a
separate dealloc thread, as scheduling NAPI instance from there is inefficient,
therefore we can't do dealloc from the instance.
