Subject: [PATCH net-next V3 1/2] net: Utility function to get affinity_hint by policy

This function sets the affinity_mask according to a numa aware policy.
affinity_mask could be used as an affinity hint for the IRQ related to
this rx queue.
Current policy is to spread rx queues accross cores - local cores first.
It could be extended in the future.
