Tariq Toukan 043dc78ecf net/mlx5e: TX, Use actual WQE size for SQ edge fill
We fill SQ edge with NOPs to avoid WQEs wrap.
Here, instead of doing that in advance for the maximum possible
WQE size, we do it on-demand using the actual WQE size.
We re-order some parts in mlx5e_sq_xmit to finish the calculation
of WQE size (ds_cnt) before doing any writes to the WQE buffer.

When SQ work queue is fragmented (introduced in an downstream patch),
dealing with WQE wraps becomes more frequent. This change would drastically
reduce the overhead in this case.

Performance tests:
ConnectX-5 100Gbps, CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
Packet rate of 64B packets, single transmit ring, size 8K.

Before: 14.9 Mpps
After:  15.8 Mpps

Improvement of 6%.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
