bpf/xdp: optimize bpf_xdp_pointer to avoid reading sinfo
Currently we observed a significant performance degradation in samples/bpf xdp1 and xdp2, due XDP multibuffer "xdp.frags" handling, added in commit 7722517 ("samples/bpf: fixup some tools to be able to support xdp multibuffer"). This patch reduce the overhead by avoiding to read/load shared_info (sinfo) memory area, when XDP packet don't have any frags. This improves performance because sinfo is located in another cacheline. Function bpf_xdp_pointer() is used by BPF helpers bpf_xdp_load_bytes() and bpf_xdp_store_bytes(). As a help to reviewers, xdp_get_buff_len() can potentially access sinfo, but it uses xdp_buff_has_frags() flags bit check to avoid accessing sinfo in no-frags case. The likely/unlikely instrumentation lays out asm code such that sinfo access isn't interleaved with no-frags case (checked on GCC 12.2.1-4). The generated asm code is more compact towards the no-frags case. The BPF kfunc bpf_dynptr_slice() also use bpf_xdp_pointer(). Thus, it should also take effect for that.
