Use netif_queue_set_napi to map NAPIs to queue IDs so that the mapping
can be accessed by user apps.

$ ethtool -i ens4 | grep driver
driver: virtio_net

$ sudo ethtool -L ens4 combined 4

$ ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py \
        --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
        --dump queue-get --json='{"ifindex": 2}'
[{'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8289, 'type': 'rx'},
  {'id': 1, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8290, 'type': 'rx'},
  {'id': 2, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8291, 'type': 'rx'},
  {'id': 3, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8292, 'type': 'rx'},
  {'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'},
  {'id': 1, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'},
  {'id': 2, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'},
  {'id': 3, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'tx'}]

Note that virtio_net has TX-only NAPIs which do not have NAPI IDs, so
the lack of 'napi-id' in the above output is expected.

  v2:
    - Eliminate RTNL code paths using the API Jakub introduced in patch 1
      of this v2.
    - Added virtnet_napi_disable to reduce code duplication as
      suggested by Jason Wang.

So what case the check of xdp_enabled is for?

Based on a previous discussion [1], the NAPIs should not be linked
for in-kernel XDP, but they _should_ be linked for XSK.

I could certainly have misread the virtio_net code (please let me
know if I've gotten it wrong, I'm not an expert), but the three
cases I have in mind are:

   - vi->xdp_enabled = false, which happens when no XDP is being
     used, so the queue number will be < vi->curr_queue_pairs.

   - vi->xdp_enabled = false, which I believe is what happens in the
     XSK case. In this case, the NAPI is linked.

   - vi->xdp_enabled = true, which I believe only happens for
     in-kernel XDP - but not XSK - and in this case, the NAPI should
     NOT be linked.

My interpretation based on [1] is that an in-kernel XDP Tx queue is a
queue that is only used if XDP is attached and is not visible to
userspace. The in-kernel XDP Tx queue is used to not load stack Tx
queues with XDP packets. IIRC fbnic has additional queues only for
XDP Tx. So for stack RX queues I would always link napi, no matter if
XDP is attached or not. I think most driver do not have in-kernel XDP
Tx queues. But I'm also not an expert.
