net: fec: add XDP_TX feature support

The XDP_TX feature is not supported before, and all the frames
which are deemed to do XDP_TX action actually do the XDP_DROP
action. So this patch adds the XDP_TX support to FEC driver.

I tested the performance of XDP_TX in XDP_DRV mode and XDP_SKB
mode respectively on i.MX8MP-EVK platform, and as suggested by
Jesper, I also tested the performance of XDP_REDIRECT on the
same platform. And the test steps and results are as follows.

XDP_TX test:
Step 1: One board is used as generator and connects to switch,and
the FEC port of DUT also connects to the switch. Both boards with
flow control off. Then the generator runs the
pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh script to generate and send
burst traffic to DUT. Note that the size of packet was set to 64
bytes and the procotol of packet was UDP in my test scenario. In
addition, the SMAC of the packet need to be different from the MAC
of the generator, because the xdp2 program will swap the DMAC and
SMAC of the packet and send it back to the generator. If the SMAC
of the generated packet is the MAC of the generator, the generator
will receive the returned traffic which increase the CPU loading
and significantly degrade the transmit speed of the generator, and
finally it affects the test of XDP_TX performance.

Step 2: The DUT runs the xdp2 program to transmit received UDP
packets back out on the same port where they were received.

root@imx8mpevk:~# ./xdp2 eth0
proto 17:     353918 pkt/s
proto 17:     352923 pkt/s
proto 17:     353900 pkt/s
proto 17:     352672 pkt/s
proto 17:     353912 pkt/s
proto 17:     354219 pkt/s

root@imx8mpevk:~# ./xdp2 -S eth0
proto 17:     160604 pkt/s
proto 17:     160708 pkt/s
proto 17:     160564 pkt/s
proto 17:     160684 pkt/s
proto 17:     160640 pkt/s
proto 17:     160720 pkt/s

The above results show that the XDP_TX performance of XDP_DRV mode
is much better than XDP_SKB mode, more than twice that of XDP_SKB
mode, which is in line with our expectation.

XDP_REDIRECT test:
Step1: Both the generator and the FEC port of the DUT connet to the
switch port. All the ports with flow control off, then the generator
runs the pktgen script to generate and send burst traffic to DUT.
Note that the size of packet was set to 64 bytes and the procotol of
packet was UDP in my test scenario.

Step2: The DUT runs the xdp_redirect program to redirect the traffic
from the FEC port to the FEC port itself.

Compared the performance of XDP_TX with XDP_REDIRECT, XDP_TX is also
much better than XDP_REDIRECT. It's also in line with our expectation.
