net/af_packet: fix ignoring full ring on Tx
net/af_packet: fix ignoring full ring on Tx

The poll call can return POLLERR which is ignored, or it can return
POLLOUT, even if there are no free frames in the mmap-ed area.

We can account for both of these cases by re-checking if the next
frame is empty before writing into it.

We have attempted to reproduce this issue with pktgen-dpdk, using the
following configuration.

pktgen -l 1-4 -n 4 --proc-type=primary --no-pci --no-telemetry \
    --no-huge -m 512 \
    --vdev=net_af_packet0,iface=eth1,blocksz=16384,framesz=8192, \
    framecnt=2048,qpairs=1,qdisc_bypass=0 \
    -- \
    -P \
    -T \
    -m "3.0" \
    -f themes/black-yellow.theme

We configure a low tx rate (~ 335 packets / second) and a small
packet size, of about 300 Bytes from the pktgen CLI.

set 0 size 300
set 0 rate 0.008
set 0 burst 1
start 0

After bringing the interface down, and up again, we seem to arrive
in a state in which the tx rate is inconsistent, and does not recover.

ifconfig eth1 down; sleep 7; ifconfig eth1 up
