The RSS hash report is a feature that's part of the virtio specification.
Currently, virtio backends like qemu, vdpa (mlx5), and potentially vhost
(still a work in progress as per [1]) support this feature. While the
capability to obtain the RSS hash has been enabled in the normal path,
it's currently missing in the XDP path. Therefore, we are introducing
XDP hints through kfuncs to allow XDP programs to access the RSS hash.

Changes from v6:
- fix a coding style issue
Changes from v5:
- Preservation of the hash value has been dropped, following the conclusion
from discussions in V3 reviews. The virtio_net driver doesn't
accessing/using the virtio_net_hdr after the XDP program execution, so
nothing tragic should happen. As to the xdp program, if it smashes the
entry in virtio header, it is likely buggy anyways. Additionally, looking
up the Intel IGC driver, it also does not bother with this particular
aspect.

Why is this not implemented as a table lookup?
