Subject: [PATCH] iptuntap: allow creation of multi-queue tun/tap device

This patch adds multi_queue option to ip tuntap.
This allows IFF_MULTI_QUEUE flag to be specified during
tun/tap device creation enabling multi-queue support in tun/tap
device.

Example: ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap multi_queue
