The apc->eth_stats.rx_cqes is one per NIC (vport), and it's on the frequent and parallel code path of all queues. So, r/w into this single shared variable by many threads on different CPUs creates a lot caching and memory overhead, hence perf regression. And, it's not accurate due to the high volume concurrent r/w.
For example, a workload is iperf with 128 threads, and with RPS enabled. We saw perf regression of 25% with the previous patch adding the counters. And this patch eliminates the regression.
Since the error path of mana_poll_rx_cq() already has warnings, so keeping the counter and convert it to a per-queue variable is not necessary. So, just remove this counter from this high frequency code path.
Also, remove the tx_cqes counter for the same reason. We have warnings & other counters for errors on that path, and don't need to count every normal cqe processing.
