Subject: [PATCH net] tuntap: try not batch packets for devmap

Commit 762c330d670e ("tuntap: add missing xdp flush") tries to fix the
devmap stall caused by missed xdp flush by counting the pending xdp
redirected packets and flush when it exceeds NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT or
MSG_MORE is clear. This may lead BUG() since xdp_do_flush() was
called under process context with preemption enabled. Simply disable
preemption may silent the warning but be not enough since process may
move between different CPUS during a batch which cause xdp_do_flush()
misses some CPU where the process run previously. For -net, fix this
by simply calling xdp_do_flush() immediately after xdp_do_redirect(),
a side effect is that this removes any possibility of batching which
could be addressed in the future.
