pktgen: avoid expensive set_current_state() call in loop

Avoid calling set_current_state() inside the busy-loop in
pktgen_thread_worker().  In case of pkt_dev->delay, then it is still
used/enabled in pktgen_xmit() via the spin() call.

The set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) uses a xchg, which implicit
is LOCK prefixed.  I've measured the asm LOCK operation to take approx
8ns on this E5-2630 CPU.  Performance increase corrolate with this
measurement.

Performance data with CLONE_SKB==100000, rx-usecs=30:
 (single CPU performance, ixgbe 10Gbit/s, E5-2630)
 * Prev:  5454050 pps --> 183.35ns (1/5454050*10^9)
 * Now:   5684009 pps --> 175.93ns (1/5684009*10^9)
 * Diff:  +229959 pps -->  -7.42ns
