When creating new RX rings, one less than the number of buffers in the
ring need to be allocated. It is possible that only a part of the
allocation is successful, resulting in a failure to create the rings.
In this case, the driver should free the buffers which were successfully
allocated to avoid a memory leak in case the application does not
automatically exit.

This would allow for separate control of datapath-related logs vs
non-datapath logs.

Prior to this patch, the DQ format made use of two separate arrays which
dictate the TX submission queue, named tx_ring and sw_ring. The tx_ring
represented the actual hardware descriptor ring, while the sw_ring
represented a ring of DMA'd buffers to be used in transmission.
Given that the DQ format makes use of out-of-order completions, the use
of a queue for keeping track of buffers DMA'd to the hardware is
sub-optimal at best, and error-prone in the worst case. Because
completions can come out of order, it was possible to hit a case where
the next buffer to be posted in the submission ring to have not yet
gotten a completion. If this is the case, the driver would have to
pause transmission until the completion is received or risk leaving a
pointer unfreed. In this sense, to prevent memory leaks, the driver must
act as if the completions come in-order, sometimes pausing traffic even
though there are buffers ready to be used, which can lead to degraded
performance.
To combat this, the GVE driver made a 4x multiplier for the sw_ring
size, relative to the size of the hardware ring. However, this
mitigation had no true guarantee against memory leaks, and should not
have been relied on for a correctly behaving driver.
DQ completions happen at a packet granularity, not a buffer granularity.
As such, this patch introduces a new pkt_ring_dqo struct, allowing
multidescriptor packets not to take up as many entries in the "sw_ring".
Additionally, new free list stack is introduced to obtain available
completion tags, allowing for packet completions to be properly processed
out of order. Where the sw_ring would have at once been overrun, there
is a new limitation on the number of available completion tags, which
aligns with the number of possible outstanding packets.

The DPDK DQ driver made an implicit assumption that buffers will be
returned from the NIC in the order which they are posted. While this is
generally the case, there are certain edge cases, such as HW GRO, where
buffers may be completed out of order. In such cases, the driver would
have returned the wrong mbuf to the program, which would cause issues if
the mbuf is freed while the NIC still expects to own the buffer or the
application receives a buffer which contains garbage data.
This patch updates the RX path behavior more in line with what is
expected by the NIC by utilizing the buf_id in the completion descriptor
to decide which buffer to complete. A stack is introduced to hold the
available buf_ids when posting to handle the fact that buf_ids can come
back from the hardware out of order.
