Any validation would be done outside of this patchset, which only
focuses on resetting an Rx queue. Reconfiguring page pools and HDS is
orthogonal and unrelated to this patchset.

The netdev core API consuming netdev_queue_mgmt_ops would be
netdev_rx_queue_restart() added in [1].

Validation would be done at a layer above, i.e. whatever that calls
netdev_rx_queue_restart(), as opposed to netdev_rx_queue_restart() or
netdev_queue_mgmt_ops itself.
