[net-next PATCH 5/5] epoll: Add busy poll support to epoll with socket fds.

From: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com>

This patch adds busy poll support to epoll if all the sockets attached
to an epoll fd receive packets from the same receive queue(NAPI ID). NAPI
ID is maintained per epoll and is set from sk when the first event is
received for a socket with a non-zero NAPI ID. It is validated to make sure
that all the later events for sockets have the same NAPI ID. Busy polling
is disabled if an event is received for a socket with NAPI ID that is
different from the epoll NAPI ID.

An application can use SO_INCOMING_CPU or SO_REUSEPORT_ATTACH_C/EBPF socket
options to spread the incoming connections to specific worker threads
based on the incoming queue. This enables epoll for each worker thread
to have only sockets that receive packets from a single queue. So when an
application calls epoll_wait() and there are no events available to report,
busy polling is done on the associated queue to pull the packets.
