Subject: [RFC v2] net/core: add optional threading for rps backlog processing
When dealing with few flows or an imbalance on CPU utilization, static RPS
CPU assignment can be too inflexible. Add support for enabling threaded NAPI
for RPS backlog processing in order to allow the scheduler to better balance
processing. This helps better spread the load across idle CPUs.
