This introduces in dpif-netdev and netdev-dpdk the first use for the
newly introduce reconfigure netdev call.
When a request to change the number of queues comes, netdev-dpdk will
remember this and notify the upper layer via
netdev_request_reconfigure().
The datapath, instead of periodically calling netdev_set_multiq(), can
detect this and call reconfigure().
This mechanism can also be used to:
* Automatically match the number of rxq with the one provided by qemu
via the new_device callback.
* Provide a way to change the MTU of dpdk devices at runtime.
* Move a DPDK vhost device to the proper NUMA socket.
