[CORE] Stack changes to add multiqueue hardware support API
Add the multiqueue hardware device support API to the core network
stack. Allow drivers to allocate multiple queues and manage them at
the netdev level if they choose to do so.
Added a new field to sk_buff, namely queue_mapping, for drivers to
know which tx_ring to select based on OS classification of the flow.
