[net-next,v7,1/9] netmem: add niov->type attribute to distinguish different net_iov types

Commit Message

Later patches in the series adds TX net_iovs where there is no pp
associated, so we can't rely on niov->pp->mp_ops to tell what is the
type of the net_iov.

Add a type enum to the net_iov which tells us the net_iov type.
