[RFC net-next v3 1/7] queue_api: add support for fetching per queue DMA dev

[Dragos Tatulea]

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.
