  The original `use_cni` implementation was limited to
supporting only a single netdev in a DPDK pod. This patchset
aims to fix this limitation transparently to the end user.
It will also enable compatibility with the latest AF_XDP
Device Plugin.

* Fixed up typos picked up by checkpatch.

* Update `use_cni` in docs with ``use_cni``
* Remove reference to limitations and simply document behaviour
  before and after DPDK 23.11.

* Fixup checkpatch issues.

v8:
* Go back to using `use_cni` vdev argument
* Introduce `use_map_pinning` vdev param.
* Rename `uds_path` to `dp_path` so that it can be used

  not configured by the user.

* Removed all incorrect references to CNI throughout af_xdp
  PMD file.

v3:
* Remove `use_cni` vdev argument as it's no longer needed.
* Update incorrect CNI references for the AF_XDP DP in the
  documentation.
* Update the documentation to run a simple example with the
  AF_XDP DP plugin in K8s.
