Containers use virtual netdevs to route traffic from a physical netdev
in the host namespace. They do not have access to the physical netdev
in the host and thus can't use memory providers or AF_XDP that require
reconfiguring/restarting queues in the physical netdev.

This patchset adds the concept of queue peering to virtual netdevs that
allow containers to use memory providers and AF_XDP at native speed.
These mapped queues are bound to a real queue in a physical netdev and
act as a proxy.

Memory providers and AF_XDP operations takes an ifindex and queue id,
so containers would pass in an ifindex for a virtual netdev and a queue
id of a mapped queue, which then gets proxied to the underlying real
queue. Peered queues are created and bound to a real queue atomically
through a generic ynl netdev operation.

We have implemented support for this concept in netkit and tested the
latter against Nvidia ConnectX-6 (mlx5) as well as Broadcom BCM957504
(bnxt_en) 100G NICs. For more details see the individual patches.

v1->v2:
 - Removed bind sample ynl code (Stan)
 - Reworked netdev locking to have consistent order (Stan, Kuba)
 - Return 'not supported' in API patch (Stan)
 - Improved ynl documentation (Kuba)
 - Added 'max: s32-max' in ynl spec for ifindex (Kuba)
 - Added also queue type in ynl to have user specify rx to make
   it obvious (Kuba)
 - Use of netdev_hold (Kuba)
 - Avoid static inlines from another header (Kuba)
 - Squashed some commits (Kuba, Stan)
 - Removed ndo_{peer,unpeer}_queues callback and simplified
   code (Kuba)
 - Improved commit messages (Toke, Kuba, Stan, zf)
 - Got rid of locking genl_sk_priv_get (Stan)
 - Removed af_xdp cleanup churn (Maciej)
 - Added netdev locking asserts (Stan)
 - Reject ethtool ioctl path queue resizing (Kuba)
 - Added kdoc for ndo_queue_create (Stan)
 - Uninvert logic in netkit single dev mode (Jordan)
 - Added binding support for multiple queues
