[PATCH net-next 8/8] net: ravb: Use NAPI threaded mode on 1-core CPUs with GbEth IP

[Paul Barker <paul.barker.ct@bp.renesas.com>]

NAPI Threaded mode (along with the previously enabled SW IRQ Coalescing)
is required to improve network stack performance for single core SoCs
using the GbEth IP (currently the RZ/G2L SoC family and the RZ/G3S SoC).

For the RZ/G2UL, network throughput is increased by this change for all
test cases except UDP TX (results obtained with iperf3):
  * TCP TX: 30% more throughput
  * TCP RX: 9.8% more throughput
  * UDP TX: 9.7% less throughput
  * UDP RX: 89% more throughput

For the RZ/G3S we see improvements in network throughput similar to the
RZ/G2UL.

The improvement of UDP RX bandwidth for the single core SoCs (RZ/G2UL &
RZ/G3S) is particularly critical. NAPI Threaded mode can be disabled at
runtime via sysfs for applications where UDP TX performance is a
priority.
