In case of failure of 'xsk_configure_all()', 'n_rxq' and 'xdpmode'
will remain in a new state. This will result in successful
reconfiguration (immediate return, because configuration is already
applied) if 'netdev_reconfigure()' will be called again.
Same issue was fixed previously for netdev-dpdk using 'dev->started'
flag in commit:
606f66507250 ("netdev-dpdk: Don't use PMD driver if not configured successfully")
Let's use similar approach with checking the 'dev->xsks' which only
exists if configuration was successful.
Additionally implemented 'netdev_afxdp_construct()' function to
explicitly initialize all the specific fields and request the
reconfiguration.

The patch introduces experimental AF_XDP support for OVS netdev.
AF_XDP, the Address Family of the eXpress Data Path, is a new Linux socket
type built upon the eBPF and XDP technology. It is aims to have comparable
performance to DPDK but cooperate better with existing kernel's networking
stack. An AF_XDP socket receives and sends packets from an eBPF/XDP program
attached to the netdev, by-passing a couple of Linux kernel's subsystems
As a result, AF_XDP socket shows much better performance than AF_PACKET
For more details about AF_XDP, please see linux kernel's
Documentation/networking/af_xdp.rst. Note that by default, this feature is
not compiled in.
