First of all: I explained the changes needed to improve XDP_TX, below as
comments on the code. Please read and address.

XDP_TX should always be faster than XDP_REDIRECT, because it happens
locally in the driver and doesn't have to go through any generic
xdp_do_redirect code.

Like benchmarks shown in our XDP-paper[1] on mlx5 the graph[2] shows
XDP_TX vs XDP_REDIRECT vs. DPDK.
