[PATCH net-next v5 02/15] netdevice: add priv_flags IFF_NOT_USE_DMA_ADDR

From: Xuan Zhuo <xuanzhuo@linux.alibaba.com>

Also in: bpf, virtualization
Subsystem: networking drivers, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Some driver devices, such as virtio-net, do not directly use dma addr.
For upper-level frameworks such as xdp socket, that need to be aware of
this. So add a new priv_flag IFF_NOT_USE_DMA_ADDR.
