[PATCH RFC net-next 0/7] net: ethtool: add dedicated GRXRINGS driver callbacks

[Breno Leitao]

This patchset introduces a new dedicated ethtool_ops callback,
.get_rxrings, which enables drivers to provide the number of RX rings
directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX ring queries and RSS
configuration.

Number of drivers no implement .get_rxnfc just to report the ring count,
so, having a proper callback makes sense and simplify .get_rxnfc.

This has been suggested by Jakub, and follow the same idea as RXFH
driver callbacks [1].

This also port virtio_net to this new callback. Once there is consensus
on this approach, I can start moving the drivers to this new callback.
