nfp: avoid reading TX queue indexes from the device

Reading TX queue indexes from the device memory on each interrupt
is expensive.  It's doubly expensive with XDP running since we have
two TX rings to check there.  If the software indexes indicate that
the TX queue is completely empty, however, we don't need to look at
the device completion index at all.

The queuing CPU is doing a wmb() before kicking the device TX so
we should be safe to assume on the CPU handling the completions will
never see old value of the software copy of the index.
