The use counter handshake is a store-load pattern, so rte_smp_mb() becomes a seq_cst thread fence; the read barrier in bpf_eth_cbi_unuse() becomes an acquire fence. Same code generated on x86 and arm64.
Use relaxed loads and stores for the counter itself. With enable_stdatomic, the plain increment of an RTE_ATOMIC() field compiled to a seq_cst add, i.e. two locked operations per burst.
