The netif_get_rx_queue_lease_locked() API hides the locking
and the descend onto the leased queue. Making the code
harder to follow (at least to me). Remove the API and open
code the descend a bit. Most of the code now looks like:
if (!leased)
return __helper(x);
hw_rxq = ..
netdev_lock(hw_rxq->dev);
ret = __helper(x);
netdev_unlock(hw_rxq->dev);
return ret;
Of course if we have more code paths that need the wrapping
we may need to revisit. For now, IMHO, having to know what
netif_get_rx_queue_lease_locked() does is not worth the 20LoC
it saves.

Extend netdev_queue_get_dma_dev to return the physical device of the
real rxq for DMA in case the queue was leased. This allows memory
providers like io_uring zero-copy or devmem to bind to the physically
leased rxq via virtual devices such as netkit.

Implement netdev_nl_queue_create_doit which creates a new rx queue in a
virtual netdev and then leases it to a rx queue in a physical netdev.
Example with ynl client:
# ynl --family netdev --output-json --do queue-create \
--json '{"ifindex": 8, "type": "rx", "lease": {"ifindex": 4, "queue": {"type": "rx", "id": 15}}}'
{'id': 1}
Note that the netdevice locking order is always from the virtual to
the physical device.

For zerocopy (io_uring, devmem), there is an assumption that the
parent device can do DMA. However that is not always the case:
- Scalable Function netdevs [1] have the DMA device in the grandparent.
- For Multi-PF netdevs [2] queues can be associated to different DMA
devices.
This patch introduces the a queue based interface for allowing drivers
to expose a different DMA device for zerocopy.
