i40e/i40evf: Refactor the receive routines
Split the receive hot path code into two, one for packet split and one for single buffer. This improves receive performance since we only need to check if the ring is in packet split mode once per NAPI poll time, not several times per packet. The single buffer code is further improved by the removal of a bunch of code and several variables that are not needed. On a receive-oriented test this can improve single-threaded throughput. Also refactor the packet split receive path to use a fixed buffer for headers, like ixgbe does. This vastly reduces the number of DMA mappings and unmappings we need to do, allowing for much better performance in the presence of an IOMMU. Lastly, correct packet split descriptor types now that we are actually using them.
