io_uring/zcrx: implement device-less mode for zcrx

Allow creating a zcrx instance without attaching it to a net device.
All data will be copied through the fallback path. The user is also
expected to use ZCRX_CTRL_FLUSH_RQ to handle overflows as it normally
should even with a netdev, but it becomes even more relevant as there
will likely be no one to automatically pick up buffers.

Apart from that, it follows the zcrx uapi for the I/O path, and is
useful for testing, experimentation, and potentially for the copy
receive path in the future if improved.
