If the guest is connected but not servicing the virt queue, this leads
to vhost send retries until timeout. This is fine in isolation but if
there are other high rate queues also being serviced by the same PMD
it can lead to a performance hit on those queues. Change to only retry
when at least some packets have been successfully sent on the previous
attempt.
Also, limit retries to avoid a similar delays if packets are being sent
at a very low rate due to few available descriptors.

This commit moves the code that sets the pmd threads affinity from
netdev-dpdk to ovs-numa. There's one small part left in netdev-dpdk, to
set the lcore_id.
Now dpif-netdev will call both modules (ovs-numa and netdev-dpdk) when
starting a pmd thread.
This change will allow having a dummy implementation of the set affinity
call, for testing purposes.

OVS reports that link state of a vhost-user port (type=dpdkvhostuser) is
DOWN, even when traffic is running through the port between a Virtual
Machine and the vSwitch. Changing admin state with the
"ovs-ofctl mod-port <BR> <PORT> up/down" command over OpenFlow does
affect neither the reported link state nor the traffic.
The patch below does the flowing:
- Triggers link state change by altering netdev's change_seq member.
- Controls sending/receiving of packets through vhost-user port
according to the port's current admin state.
- Sets admin state of newly created vhost-user port to UP.

This introduces in dpif-netdev and netdev-dpdk the first use for the
newly introduce reconfigure netdev call.
When a request to change the number of queues comes, netdev-dpdk will
remember this and notify the upper layer via
netdev_request_reconfigure().
The datapath, instead of periodically calling netdev_set_multiq(), can
detect this and call reconfigure().
This mechanism can also be used to:
* Automatically match the number of rxq with the one provided by qemu
via the new_device callback.
* Provide a way to change the MTU of dpdk devices at runtime.
* Move a DPDK vhost device to the proper NUMA socket.

A netdev provider, especially a PMD provider (like netdev DPDK) might
not be able to change some of its parameters (such as MTU, or number of
queues) without stopping everything and restarting.
This commit introduces a mechanism that allows a netdev provider to
request a restart (netdev_request_reconfigure()). The upper layer can
be notified via netdev_wait_reconf_required() and
netdev_is_reconf_required(). After closing all the rxqs the upper layer
can finally call netdev_reconfigure(), to make sure that the new
configuration is in place.
This will be used by next commit to reconfigure rx and tx queues in
netdev-dpdk.

- Initialize netdev statistics as "filtered out"

Most of the network cards today supports multiple receive
and transmit queues (MQ). The core idea is that on packet
reception, a NIC can send different packets to different
queues to distribute processing among CPUs running in parallel.
The packet distribution is based on a result of a filter applied
on each packet headers. The filter should keep all packets from
the same flow on the same queue to avoid re-ordering while
distributing different flows among all available queues.
This is how the packet moves in a typical vhost-user use-case:
NIC OVS
DPDK port ==== bridge --- vhost-user ==== qemu ==== virtio eth0
The DPDK ports, OVS bridges, virtio network driver and
recently QEMU (vhost-user) supports MQ. This patch adds MQ
support to OVS that leverages DPDK vhost library to implement
vhost-user interfaces.
