[PATCH net-next v4] netdev-genl: Elide napi_id when not present

[Joe Damato]

There are at least two cases where napi_id may not present and the
napi_id should be elided:

1. Queues could be created, but napi_enable may not have been called
   yet. In this case, there may be a NAPI but it may not have an ID and
   output of a napi_id should be elided.

2. TX-only NAPIs currently do not have NAPI IDs. If a TX queue happens
   to be linked with a TX-only NAPI, elide the NAPI ID from the netlink
   output as a NAPI ID of 0 is not useful for users.

 v4:
  - Fixed a typo in the NETDEV_QUEUE_TYPE_TX case (rxq should've been
    txq).

 v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250204192724.199209-1-jdamato@fastly.com/
  - Took Eric's suggested patch to refactor the code to use helpers,
    which improves the code quality significantly.

 v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250203191714.155526-1-jdamato@fastly.com/
   - Updated to elide NAPI IDs for RX queues which may have not called
     napi_enable yet.
