Add support for receiving packets via AF_XDP zero-copy mechanism. Add a new flag to 'enum igc_ring_flags_t' to indicate the ring has AF_XDP zero-copy enabled so proper ring setup is carried out during ring configuration in igc_configure_rx_ring(). RX buffers can now be allocated via the shared pages mechanism (default behavior of the driver) or via xsk pool (when AF_XDP zero-copy is enabled) so a union is added to the 'struct igc_rx_buffer' to cover both cases. When AF_XDP zero-copy is enabled, rx buffers are allocated from the xsk pool using the new helper igc_alloc_rx_buffers_zc() which is the counterpart of igc_alloc_rx_buffers(). Likewise other Intel drivers that support AF_XDP zero-copy, in igc we have a dedicated path for cleaning up rx irqs when zero-copy is enabled. This avoids adding too many checks within igc_clean_rx_irq(), resulting in a more readable and efficient code since this function is called from the hot-path of the driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
