net/enetc: batch process clean Tx ring calls

Each call to enetc_clean_tx_ring will cost at least 150-200 CPU cycles
even if no clean-up is done, due to the CI register read.
We're only calling it once at the end of the function, on the assumption
that software is slower than hardware and hardware completed sending
older frames out by now.
We're also cleaning up the ring before kicking off Tx for the new batch
to minimize chances of contention on the Tx ring.
