Currently tx_qid is equal to pmd->core_id. This leads to unexpected
behavior if pmd-cpu-mask different from '/(0*)(1|3|7)?(f*)/',
e.g. if core_ids are not sequential, or doesn't start from 0, or both.

Example:
	starting 2 pmd threads with 1 port, 2 rxqs per port,
	pmd-cpu-mask = 00000014 and let dev->real_n_txq = 2

	It that case pmd_1->tx_qid = 2, pmd_2->tx_qid = 4 and
	txq_needs_locking = true (if device hasn't ovs_numa_get_n_cores()+1
	queues).

	In that case, after truncating in netdev_dpdk_send__():
		'qid = qid % dev->real_n_txq;'
	pmd_1: qid = 2 % 2 = 0
	pmd_2: qid = 4 % 2 = 0

	So, both threads will call dpdk_queue_pkts() with same qid = 0.
	This is unexpected behavior if there is 2 tx queues in device.
	Queue #1 will not be used and both threads will lock queue #0
	on each send.

Fix that by introducing per pmd thread hash map 'tx_queues', where will
be stored all available tx queues for that pmd thread with
port_no as a key(hash). All tx_qid-s will be unique per port and
sequential to prevent described unexpected mapping after truncating.

Implemented infrastructure can be used in the future to choose
between all tx queues available for that pmd thread.

Note: I will be on vacation until November 2nd.

version 6:
	* fixed assigning same txq to multiple pmd threads on different
	  NUMA sockets.
	* Changed logic of txq distribution in pmd_load_queues().
version 5:
	* txqs 0 from ports of non-pmd netdevs added to all pmd threads

version 4:
	* fixed distribution of tx queues if multiqueue is not supported

version 3:
	* fixed failing of unit tests by adding tx queues of non
	  pmd devices to non pmd thread. (they haven't been used by any thread)
	* pmd_flush_tx_queues --> dp_netdev_pmd_detach_tx_queues
	* function names changed to dp_netdev_*
	* dp_netdev_pmd_lookup_txq now looks by port_no.
	* removed unnecessary dp_netdev_lookup_port in dp_execute_cb
	  for OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT.
	* refactoring

There is a race for total number of threads between pmd threads.
I'll prepare new version.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
