i40e/i40evf: bundle more descriptors when allocating buffers

Browse Source 
Double the number of descriptors we'll bundle into one tail bump when
receiving. Empirical testing has shown that we reduce CPU utilization
and don't appear to reduce throughput or packet rate. 32 seems to be the
sweet spot, as it's half the default polling budget, so we'd essentially
reduce from 4 tail writes when polling down to 2. Increasing this up to
64 appears to have negative impacts as it may become possible that we
don't bump the tail each time we get polled, which could cause a long
delay between returning descriptors to the hardware.
