xsk: Consolidate to one single cached producer pointer

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.
