Use netif_queue_set_napi to map NAPIs to queue IDs so that the mapping
can be accessed by user apps. Note that the netif_queue_set_napi
currently requires RTNL, so care must be taken to ensure RTNL is held on
paths where this API might be reached.

The paths in the driver where this API can be reached appear to be:

  - ndo_open, ndo_close, which hold RTNL so no driver change is needed.
  - rx_pause, rx_resume, tx_pause, tx_resume are reached either via
    an ethtool ioctl or via XSK - neither path requires a driver change.
  - power management paths (which call open and close), which have been
    updated to hold/release RTNL.
  - refill_work, which has been updated to hold RTNL.

$ 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.
