We currently poll all available queues based on the max queue count

This can lead to some overhead when we have a lot of unused queues.
To enhance the situation, we can skip the disabled queues.
On rxq notifications, we make use of the netdev's change_seq number so
that the pmd thread main loop can cache the queue state periodically.

Thank all for working on this. I didn't come across any issues during
testing the last 2 days and code LGTM.
I've fixed the alignment issue spotted by Ilya below and pushed to master.

The second line should be shifted to keep the ternary operator visually
consistent:
ds_put_format(reply, " %s", netdev_rxq_enabled(list[i].rxq->rx)
? "(enabled) " : "(disabled)");
