8d54ede738 net/tap: report on supported RSS hash functions
Report on TAP supported RSS functions as part of dev_infos_get
callback: ETH_RSS_IP, ETH_RSS_UDP and ETH_RSS_TCP.
Known limitation: TAP supports all of the above hash functions together
and not in partial combinations.
Previous to this commit RSS support was reported as none. Since the
introduction of [1] it is required that all RSS configurations will be
verified.

036d721a82 net/tap: implement RSS using eBPF
TAP PMD is required to support RSS queue mapping based on rte_flow API. An
example usage for this requirement is failsafe transparent switching from a
PCI device to TAP device while keep redirecting packets to the same RSS
queues on both devices.

TAP RSS implementation is based on eBPF programs sent to Linux kernel
through BPF system calls and using netlink messages to reference the
programs as part of traffic control commands.

TC uses eBPF programs as classifiers and actions.
eBPF classification: packets marked with an RSS queue will be directed
to this queue using TC with "skbedit" action.
BPF classifiers are downloaded to the kernel once on TAP creation for
each TAP Rx queue.

eBPF action: calculate the Toeplitz RSS hash based on L3 addresses and
L4 ports. Mark the packet with the RSS queue according the resulting
RSS hash, then reclassify the packet.
BPF actions are downloaded to the kernel for each new RSS rule.

TAP eBPF requires Linux version 4.9 configured with BPF. TAP PMD will
successfully compile on systems with old or non-BPF configured kernels but
RSS rules creation on TAP devices will not be successful
