Implement netdev_nl_queue_create_doit which creates a new rx queue in a
virtual netdev and then leases it to a rx queue in a physical netdev.

Example with ynl client:

  # ynl --family netdev --output-json --do queue-create \
        --json '{"ifindex": 8, "type": "rx", "lease": {"ifindex": 4, "queue": {"type": "rx", "id": 15}}}'
  {'id': 1}

Note that the netdevice locking order is always from the virtual to
the physical device.

 operations directly under the netdev instance lock.
