As found by syzkaller, malicious users can set whatever tx_queue_len
on a tun device and eventually crash the kernel.
Lets remove the ALIGN(XXX, SMP_CACHE_BYTES) thing since a small
ring buffer is not fast anyway.

This patch introduce a batched version of consuming, consumer can
dequeue more than one pointers from the ring at a time. We don't care
about the reorder of reading here so no need for compiler barrier.

Applications that consume a batch of entries in one go
can benefit from ability to return some of them back
into the ring.
Add an API for that - assuming there's space. If there's no space
naturally can't do this and have to drop entries, but this implies ring
is full so we'd likely drop some anyway.

A known weakness in ptr_ring design is that it does not handle well the
situation when ring is almost full: as entries are consumed they are
immediately used again by the producer, so consumer and producer are
writing to a shared cache line.
To fix this, add batching to consume calls: as entries are
consumed do not write NULL into the ring until we get
a multiple (in current implementation 2x) of cache lines
away from the producer. At that point, write them all out.
We do the write out in the reverse order to keep
producer from sharing cache with consumer for as long
as possible.
Writeout also triggers when ring wraps around - there's
no special reason to do this but it helps keep the code
a bit simpler.
What should we do if getting away from producer by 2 cache lines
would mean we are keeping the ring moe than half empty?
Maybe we should reduce the batching in this case,
current patch simply reduces the batching.
Notes:
- it is no longer true that a call to consume guarantees
that the following call to produce will succeed.
No users seem to assume that.
- batching can also in theory reduce the signalling rate:
users that would previously send interrups to the producer
to wake it up after consuming each entry would now only
need to do this once in a batch.
Doing this would be easy by returning a flag to the caller.
No users seem to do signalling on consume yet so this was not
implemented yet.

Resizing currently drops consumer lock. This can cause entries to be
reordered, which isn't good in itself. More importantly, consumer can
detect a false ring empty condition and block forever.
Further, nesting of consumer within producer lock is problematic for
tun, since it produces entries in a BH, which causes a lock order
reversal:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
consume:
lock(&(&r->consumer_lock)->rlock);
resize:
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&r->producer_lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&r->consumer_lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
produce:
lock(&(&r->producer_lock)->rlock);
To fix, nest producer lock within consumer lock during resize,
and keep consumer lock during the whole swap operation.

Sometimes, we need support resizing multiple queues at once. This is
because it was not easy to recover to recover from a partial failure

Sometimes, we need zero length ring. But current code will crash since
we don't do any check before accessing the ring. This patch fixes this.

This adds ring resize support. Seems to be necessary as
users such as tun allow userspace control over queue size.
If resize is used, this costs us ability to peek at queue without
consumer lock - should not be a big deal as peek and consumer are
usually run on the same CPU.
If ring is made bigger, ring contents is preserved. If ring is made
smaller, extra pointers are passed to an optional destructor callback.
Cleanup function also gains destructor callback such that
all pointers in queue can be cleaned up.
This changes some APIs but we don't have any users yet,
so it won't break bisect.
