Hmm, I'm unsure about this change, because the XDP-hints will also
contain the rx_queue number.

I do think it is relevant for the BPF-prog to get access to the rx_queue
index, because it can be used for scaling the workload.

The rx_queue could be reduced from u32 to u16, but it might be faster to
keep it u32, and reduce it when others need the space.
