Move the IRQ affinity management to the napi struct. All drivers that are
already using netif_napi_set_irq() are modified to the new API. Except
mlx5 because it is implementing IRQ pools and moving to the new API does
not seem trivial.

Tested on bnxt, ice and idpf.

Opens: is cpu_online_mask the best default mask? drivers do this differently

cpu_online_mask is not the best default mask for IRQ affinity management.
Here are two reasons:
- Performance Gains from Driver-Specific CPU Assignment: Many drivers
  assign different CPUs to each IRQ to optimize performance. This plays
a crucial role in CPU utilization.
- Impact of NUMA Node Distance on Traffic Performance: NUMA topology
  plays a crucial role in IRQ performance. Assigning IRQs to CPUs on
  the same NUMA node as the associated device minimizes latency caused
  by remote memory access.[1]

for more details on NUMA preference, you can look at commit 2acda57736de1e486036b90a648e67a3599080a1



v2:
     - Also move the ARFS IRQ affinity management from drivers to core. Via
       netif_napi_set_irq(), drivers can ask the core to add the IRQ to the
       ARFS rmap (already allocated by the driver).

RFC -> v1:
     - 
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/
     - move static inline affinity functions to net/dev/core.c
     - add the new napi->irq_flags (patch 1)
     - add code changes to bnxt, mlx4 and ice.

Ahmed Zaki (8):
   net: napi: add irq_flags to napi struct
   net: allow ARFS rmap management in core
   lib: cpu_rmap: allow passing a notifier callback
   net: napi: add CPU affinity to napi->config
   bnxt: use napi's irq affinity
   ice: use napi's irq affinity
   idpf: use napi's irq affinity
   mlx4: use napi's irq affinity
