Rely on netif_receive_skb_list routine to send skbs converted from
xdp_frames in cpu_map_kthread_run in order to improve i-cache usage.
The proposed patch has been tested running xdp_redirect_cpu bpf sample
available in the kernel tree that is used to redirect UDP frames from
ixgbe driver to a cpumap entry and then to the networking stack.
UDP frames are generated using pkt_gen. Packets are discarded by the
UDP layer.

$xdp_redirect_cpu  --cpu <cpu> --progname xdp_cpu_map0 --dev <eth>

bpf-next: ~2.35Mpps
bpf-next + cpumap skb-list: ~2.72Mpps

Rename drops counter in kmem_alloc_drops since now it reports just
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk failures

Changes since v3:
- drop tracepoint layout/xdp samples changes and rename drops
  variable in kmem_alloc_drops

Changes since v2:
- remove drop counter and update related xdp samples
- rebased on top of bpf-next

Changes since v1:
- fixed comment
- rebased on top of bpf-next tree
