Subject: [PATCH net-next] sfc: backport XDP EV queue sharing from the
 out-of-tree driver

Queue sharing behaviour already exists in the out-of-tree sfc driver,
available under xdp_alloc_tx_resources module parameter.

This avoids the following issue on machines with many cpus:

Insufficient resources for 12 XDP event queues (24 other channels, max 32)

Which in turn triggers EINVAL on XDP processing:

sfc 0000:86:00.0 ext0: XDP TX failed (-22)
