[v14 0/3] net/af_xdp: fix multi interface support for K8s

[Loftus, Ciara]

> The original `use_cni` implementation was limited to
> supporting only a single netdev in a DPDK pod. This patchset
> aims to fix this limitation transparently to the end user.
> It will also enable compatibility with the latest AF_XDP
