ice: Use xdp_buf instead of rx_buf for xsk zero-copy


In order to use the new xsk batched buffer allocation interface, a
pointer to an array of struct xsk_buff pointers need to be provided so
that the function can put the result of the allocation there. In the
ice driver, we already have a ring that stores pointers to
xdp_buffs. This is only used for the xsk zero-copy driver and is a
union with the structure that is used for the regular non zero-copy
path. Unfortunately, that structure is larger than the xdp_buffs
pointers which mean that there will be a stride (of 20 bytes) between
each xdp_buff pointer. And feeding this into the xsk_buff_alloc_batch
interface will not work since it assumes a regular array of xdp_buff
pointers (each 8 bytes with 0 bytes in-between them on a 64-bit
system).

To fix this, remove the xdp_buff pointer from the rx_buf union and
move it one step higher to the union above which only has pointers to
arrays in it. This solves the problem and we can directly feed the SW
ring of xdp_buff pointers straight into the allocation function in the
next patch when that interface is used. This will improve performance.
