Jesper Dangaard Brouer aecd67b607 xdp: base API for new XDP rx-queue info concept
This patch only introduce the core data structures and API functions.
All XDP enabled drivers must use the API before this info can used.

There is a need for XDP to know more about the RX-queue a given XDP
frames have arrived on.  For both the XDP bpf-prog and kernel side.

Instead of extending xdp_buff each time new info is needed, the patch
creates a separate read-mostly struct xdp_rxq_info, that contains this
info.  We stress this data/cache-line is for read-only info.  This is
NOT for dynamic per packet info, use the data_meta for such use-cases.

The performance advantage is this info can be setup at RX-ring init
time, instead of updating N-members in xdp_buff.  A possible (driver
level) micro optimization is that xdp_buff->rxq assignment could be
done once per XDP/NAPI loop.  The extra pointer deref only happens for
program needing access to this info (thus, no slowdown to existing
use-cases).
