xen-netback: remove page tracking facility
The data flow from DomU to DomU on the same host in current copying
scheme with tracking facility:
copy
DomU --------> Dom0 DomU
| ^
|____________________________|
copy
The page in Dom0 is a page with valid MFN. So we can always copy from
page Dom0, thus removing the need for a tracking facility.
copy copy
DomU --------> Dom0 -------> DomU
Simple iperf test shows no performance regression (obviously we copy
twice either way):
W/ tracking: ~5.3Gb/s
W/o tracking: ~5.4Gb/s
