net: RPS: Enable hardware acceleration of RFS



Allow drivers for multiqueue hardware with flow filter tables to
accelerate RFS.  The driver must:

1. Set net_device::rx_cpu_rmap to a cpu_rmap of the RX completion
IRQs (in queue order).  This will provide a mapping from CPUs to the
queues for which completions are handled nearest to them.

2. Implement net_device_ops::ndo_rx_flow_steer.  This operation adds
or replaces a filter steering the given flow to the given RX queue, if
possible.

3. Periodically remove filters for which rps_may_expire_flow() returns
true.
