I think I have 3 options here:
1. Cache the ifindex in sock_common which will introduce a new
additional field in sock_common.
2. Use dev_get_by_napi_id to get the device id. This could be expensive,
if the rxqs_map is set, this will be done on every packet and involves
walking through the hashlist for napi_id lookup.
3. Remove validating device id, similar to how it is in skb_tx_hash
where rx_queue recorded is used and if not, fall through to flow hash
calculation.
What do you think is suitable here?
