The buffer freeing function for the simple scalar Tx path is almost
identical in both ice and i40e drivers, except that the i40e has
batching for the FAST_FREE case. Consolidate both functions into a
common one based off the better i40e version.

same here, eventually it would be good to replace all the rest {IXGBE, I40E, ICE, RTE_FM10K}_TX_MAX_FREE_BUF_SZ  with this
