net/mlx5e: Remove page_ref bulking in Striding RQ

When many packets reside on the same page, the bulking of
page_ref modifications reduces the total number of atomic
operations executed.

Besides the necessary 2 operations on page alloc/free, we
have the following extra ops per page:
- one on WQE allocation (bump refcnt to maximum possible),
- zero ops for SKBs,
- one on WQE free,
a constant of two operations in total, no matter how many
packets/SKBs actually populate the page.

Without this bulking, we have:
- no ops on WQE allocation or free,
- one op per SKB,

Comparing the two methods when PAGE_SIZE is 4K:
- As mentioned above, bulking method always executes 2 operations,
  not more, but not less.
- In the default MTU configuration (1500, stride size is 2K),
  the non-bulking method execute 2 ops as well.
- For larger MTUs with stride size of 4K, non-bulking method
  executes only a single op.
- For XDP (stride size of 4K, no SKBs), non-bulking method
  executes no ops at all!

Hence, to optimize the flows with linear SKB and XDP over Striding RQ,
we here remove the page_ref bulking method.

Performance testing:
ConnectX-5, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz.

Single core packet rate (64 bytes).

Early drop in TC: no degradation.

XDP_DROP:
before: 14,270,188 pps
after:  20,503,603 pps, 43% improvement.
