[PATCH v3 1/3] net/zxdh: optimize queue structure to improve performance

Warning: silent bug fix

This patch quietly fixes a real bug in zxdh_queue_enable_intr(). Upstream has:

static inline void
zxdh_queue_enable_intr(struct zxdh_virtqueue *vq)
{
    if (vq->vq_packed.event_flags_shadow == ZXDH_RING_EVENT_FLAGS_DISABLE) {
        vq->vq_packed.event_flags_shadow = ZXDH_RING_EVENT_FLAGS_DISABLE;
        vq->vq_packed.ring.driver->desc_event_flags = vq->vq_packed.event_flags_shadow;
    }
}

The function checks for DISABLE and then sets to DISABLE — interrupts are never enabled. The patch corrects both occurrences to ENABLE. That fix is not mentioned in the commit message, and it has no Fixes: tag or Cc: stable at dpdk.org. Please split it into its own patch ahead of the structure reorganization so it can be backported.

The commit message also omits other non-trivial changes: removal of zxdh_mb(), and the inlining of zxdh_queue_notify() so it no longer dispatches through ZXDH_VTPCI_OPS()->notify_queue. Worth a sentence each.
