The round-robin rr_tx_counter was shared across CPUs leading to
significant cache thrashing at high packet rates. This patch switches
the round-robin packet counter to use a per-cpu variable to decide
the destination slave.
On a test with 2x100Gbit ICE nic with pktgen_sample_04_many_flows.sh
(-s 64 -t 32) the tx rate was 19.6Mpps before and 22.3Mpps after
this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
