Previously, the xsk code did not record which umem was bound to a
specific queue id. This was not required if all drivers were zero-copy
enabled as this had to be recorded in the driver anyway. So if a user
tried to bind two umems to the same queue, the driver would say
no. But if copy-mode was first enabled and then zero-copy mode (or the
reverse order), we mistakenly enabled both of them on the same umem
leading to buggy behavior. The main culprit for this is that we did
not store the association of umem to queue id in the copy case and
only relied on the driver reporting this. As this relation was not
stored in the driver for copy mode (it does not rely on the AF_XDP
NDOs), this obviously could not work.

This patch fixes the problem by always recording the umem to queue id
relationship in the netdev_queue and netdev_rx_queue structs. This
way we always know what kind of umem has been bound to a queue id and
can act appropriately at bind time.

Patch 1: Introduces a umem reference in the netdev_rx_queue and
         netdev_queue structs.
Patch 2: Records which queue_id is bound to which umem and make sure
         that you cannot bind two different umems to the same queue_id.

I based this patch set on bpf-next commit 70e88c758a6b
("selftests/bpf: fix bpf_flow.c build")
