net: convert netmem_tx flag to enum

Devices that support netmem TX previously set dev->netmem_tx = true.
This was checked in validate_xmit_unreadable_skb() to drop unreadable
skbs (skbs with dmabuf-backed frags) before they reach drivers that
would mishandle them or devices that would not have the iommu mappings
for them.

A subsequent patch will introduce a third state for virtual devices
that forward unreadable skbs without ever performing DMA on them. To
prepare for that, convert the boolean dev->netmem_tx into an enum:

NETMEM_TX_NONE   - no netmem TX support (drop unreadable skbs)
NETMEM_TX_DMA    - full support, device does DMA

Update the existing NIC drivers (bnxt, gve, mlx5, fbnic) and the
validators in net/core to use the new enum. No functional change.
