Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/4] Add support to set napi threaded for
 individual napi

A net device has a threaded sysctl that can be used to enable threaded
napi polling on all of the NAPI contexts under that device. Allow
enabling threaded napi polling at individual napi level using netlink.

Extend the netlink operation `napi-set` and allow setting the threaded
attribute of a NAPI. This will enable the threaded polling on a napi
context.

Tested using following command in qemu/virtio-net:
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
  --do napi-set       --json '{"id": 66, "threaded": 1}'
