Currently, the xsk ring code has two cached producer pointers: prod_head and prod_tail. This patch consolidates these two into a single one called cached_prod to make the code simpler and easier to maintain. This will be in line with the user space part of the the code found in libbpf, that only uses a single cached pointer. The Rx path only uses the two top level functions xskq_produce_batch_desc and xskq_produce_flush_desc and they both use prod_head and never prod_tail. So just move them over to cached_prod. The Tx XDP_DRV path uses xskq_produce_addr_lazy and xskq_produce_flush_addr_n and unnecessarily operates on both prod_tail and prod_head, so move them over to just use cached_prod by skipping the intermediate step of updating prod_tail. The Tx path in XDP_SKB mode uses xskq_reserve_addr and xskq_produce_addr. They currently use both cached pointers, but we can operate on the global producer pointer in xskq_produce_addr since it has to be updated anyway, thus eliminating the use of both cached pointers. We can also remove the xskq_nb_free in xskq_produce_addr since it is already called in xskq_reserve_addr. No need to do it twice. When there is only one cached producer pointer, we can also simplify xskq_nb_free by removing one argument.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
