dpif-netdev: Add round-robin based rxq to pmd assignment.
Prior to OVS 2.9 automatic assignment of Rxqs to PMDs
(i.e. CPUs) was done by round-robin.
That was changed in OVS 2.9 to ordering the Rxqs based on
their measured processing cycles. This was to assign the
busiest Rxqs to different PMDs, improving aggregate
throughput.
For the most part the new scheme should be better, but
there could be situations where a user prefers a simple
round-robin scheme because Rxqs from a single port are
more likely to be spread across multiple PMDs, and/or
traffic is very bursty/unpredictable.
Add 'pmd-rxq-assign' config to allow a user to select
round-robin based assignment.
