[RFC PATCH] bpf: cpumap: report queue_index to xdp_rxq_info

When a packet is redirected to a CPU map entry,
cpu_map_bpf_prog_run_xdp() reconstructs a minimal xdp_rxq_info from
xdp_frame fields (dev_rx and mem_type) before re-running the BPF program
on the target CPU. However, queue_index was never preserved across the
CPU boundary, so BPF programs running in cpumap context always observe
ctx->rx_queue_index == 0, regardless of which hardware queue originally
received the packet.

Fix this by storing the originating queue_index in struct xdp_frame,
following the same pattern already established for dev_rx and mem_type.
The field is populated from rxq->queue_index in
xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() during NAPI context, when the rxq_info is
still valid, and restored into the reconstructed rxq_info in
cpu_map_bpf_prog_run_xdp().

Also use xdpf->queue_index in __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() to call
skb_record_rx_queue(), which was previously listed as missing
information in that function's comment.

Also propagate queue_index in dpaa_a050385_wa_xdpf(), which manually
constructs a new xdp_frame from an uninitialized page. Without this,
queue_index would contain stale data from the page allocator.
