[PATCH] app/testpmd: improve sse based macswap

[Vipin Varghese]

Goal of the patch is to improve SSE macswap on x86_64 by reducing
the stalls in backend engine. Original implementation of the SSE
macswap makes loop call to multiple load, shuffle & store. Using
SIMD ISA interleaving we can reduce the stalls for
 - load SSE token exhaustion
 - Shuffle and Load dependency

Also other changes which improves packet per second are
 - Filling access to MBUF for offload flags which is separate cacheline,
 - using register keyword

Test results:
------------
Platform: AMD EPYC SIENA 8594P @2.3GHz, no boost
DPDK: 24.03

------------------------------------------------
TEST IO 64B: baseline <NIC : MPPs>
 - mellanox CX-7 2*200Gbps : 42.0
 - intel E810 1*100Gbps : 82.0
 - intel E810 2*200Gbps (2CQ-DA2): 83.0
------------------------------------------------
TEST MACSWAP 64B: <NIC : Before : After>
 - mellanox CX-7 2*200Gbps : 31.533 : 31.90
 - intel E810 1*100Gbps : 50.380 : 47.0
 - intel E810 2*200Gbps (2CQ-DA2): 48.840 : 49.827
------------------------------------------------
TEST MACSWAP 128B: <NIC : Before: After>
 - mellanox CX-7 2*200Gbps: 30.946 : 31.770
 - intel E810 1*100Gbps: 49.386 : 46.366
 - intel E810 2*200Gbps (2CQ-DA2): 47.979 : 49.503
------------------------------------------------
TEST MACSWAP 256B: <NIC: Before: After>
 - mellanox CX-7 2*200Gbps: 32.480 : 33.150
 - intel E810 1 * 100Gbps: 45.29 : 44.571
 - intel E810 2 * 200Gbps (2CQ-DA2): 45.033 : 45.117
------------------------------------------------

using multiple queues and lcore there is linear increase in MPPs.
