netdevsim: call napi_schedule from a timer context

The netdevsim driver was experiencing NOHZ tick-stop errors during packet
transmission due to pending softirq work when calling napi_schedule().
This issue was observed when running the netconsole selftest, which
triggered the following error message:

  NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!!

To fix this issue, introduce a timer that schedules napi_schedule()
from a timer context instead of calling it directly from the TX path.

Create an hrtimer for each queue and kick it from the TX path,
which then schedules napi_schedule() from the timer context.
