MMIO reads for remaining packets in queue occur (at least)twice per
invocation of netsec_process_rx(). We can use the packet descriptor to
identify if it's owned by the hardware and break out, avoiding the more
expensive MMIO read operations. This has a ~2% increase on the pps of the
Rx path when tested with 64byte packets

Should this use READ_ONCE() to prevent the compiler from moving the
access around? I see that netsec_get_rx_pkt_data() has a dma_rmb()
before reading the data, which prevents the CPU from doing something
wrong here, but not the compiler.

As we discussed i'll send a V2 with the dma_rmb() right after the desc status
read
