For flipping the buffer, data's 'truesize' is needed. So i40e_rx_buffer_flip() needed to call
i40e_rx_frame_truesize() to get the 'truesize' since only 'size' was passed to it. With this
patch the caller provides 'truesize' itself to i40e_rx_buffer_flip().

i40e_rx_frame_trusize() does not cover all cases for truesize calculation , for e.g., for frags
in non-legacy-rx mode. Since i40e_rx_buffer_flip() was depending on i40e_rx_frame_trusize()
for truesize, it could not be used for adding frags.

We don’t want to introduce branches. Also, note this part of the code is not
newly introduced in this patchset.

As explained before, earlier i40e_rx_buffer_flip() was calculating 'truesize'
internally but now depends on the caller for it to be provided. 'xdp.frame_sz'
actually is the truesize of the buffer.
