xdp: fix bug in cpumap teardown code path

When removing a cpumap entry, a number of syncronization steps happen.
Eventually the teardown code __cpu_map_entry_free is invoked from/via
call_rcu.

The teardown code __cpu_map_entry_free() flushes remaining xdp_frames,
by invoking bq_flush_to_queue, which calls xdp_return_frame_rx_napi().
The issues is that the teardown code is not running in the RX NAPI
code path.  Thus, it is not allowed to invoke the NAPI variant of
xdp_return_frame.

This bug was found and triggered by using the --stress-mode option to
the samples/bpf program xdp_redirect_cpu.  It is hard to trigger,
because the ptr_ring have to be full and cpumap bulk queue max
contains 8 packets, and a remote CPU is racing to empty the ptr_ring
queue.
