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.
