[v4] kni: fix build with Linux 5.18
Checks
Commit Message
Since commit 2655926aea9b (net: Remove netif_rx_any_context() and
netif_rx_ni().) in 5.18, netif_rx_ni() no longer exists as netif_rx()
can be called from any context. So define HAVE_NETIF_RX_NI for older
releases and call the appropriate function in kni_net.
There were other attempts to fix this:
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220521070642.35413-1-humin29@huawei.com/
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220511112334.3233433-1-mingli.yu@windriver.com/
But neither of them ensures netif_rx_ni() is used on older kernel. This
might lead to deadlocks or other problems there.

Applied to dpdk-next-net/main with minor fixes in the description, thanks.

Sorry, it appears I sent the old version again. The latter #else should
have been #endif. Do you want me to send a followup patch?
thanks,

Oh, I'm sorry as well that I didn't catch it. Frankly speaking I'm
surprised that all CI does not catch it. test-meson-build.sh does
not catch it as well with default. I've tuned my build checks to care
about it.
Thomas, thanks a lot for the quick fix.
