pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh that demonstrates how to acheive maximum performance. If correctly tuned[1] single CPU 10Gbit/s wirespeed small pkts is possible[2] which is 14.88Mpps. The trick is to take advantage of the "burst" feature introduced in commit 38b2cf2982dc73 ("net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more").

+#
+# Using pktgen "burst" option (use -b $N)
+# - To boost max performance
+# - Avail since: kernel v3.18
+# * commit 38b2cf2982dc73 ("net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more")
+# - This avoids writing the HW tailptr on every driver xmit
+# - The performance boost is impressive, see commit and blog [2]
+#
+# Notice: On purpose generates a single (UDP) flow towards target,
+# reason behind this is to only overload/activate a single CPU on
+# target host. And no randomness for pktgen also makes it faster.
