Subject: [PATCH 5.6 053/167] net/mlx4_en: avoid indirect call in TX completion

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 310660a14b74c380b0ef5c12b66933d6a3d1b59f ]

Commit 9ecc2d86171a ("net/mlx4_en: add xdp forwarding and data write support")
brought another indirect call in fast path.

Use INDIRECT_CALL_2() helper to avoid the cost of the indirect call
when/if CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y
