====================
net: ethtool: add dedicated GRXRINGS driver callbacks

This patchset introduces a new dedicated ethtool_ops callback,
.get_rx_ring_count, which enables drivers to provide the number of RX
rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX ring queries and
RSS configuration.

Number of drivers implements .get_rxnfc callback just to report the ring
count, so, having a proper callback makes sense and simplify .get_rxnfc
(in some cases remove it completely).

This has been suggested by Jakub, and follow the same idea as RXFH
driver callbacks [1].

This also port virtio_net to this new callback. Once there is consensus
on this approach, I can start moving the drivers to this new callback.
