veth: allow enabling NAPI even without XDP
Currently the veth device has the GRO feature bit set, even if no GRO aggregation is possible with the default configuration, as the veth device does not hook into the GRO engine. Flipping the GRO feature bit from user-space is a no-op, unless XDP is enabled. In such scenario GRO could actually take place, but TSO is forced to off on the peer device. This change allow user-space to really control the GRO feature, with no need for an XDP program. The GRO feature bit is now cleared by default - so that there are no user-visible behavior changes with the default configuration. When the GRO bit is set, the per-queue NAPI instances are initialized and registered. On xmit, when napi instances are available, we try to use them. Some additional checks are in place to ensure we initialize/delete NAPIs only when needed in case of overlapping XDP and GRO configuration changes.
