This patch enables tun/tap interfaces to use RPS by default. The
motivation behind this is to address the fact that the interfaces are
currently using netif_rx_ni which in turn will queue packets on whatever
CPU the function is called on, and when combined with load balancing this
can result in packets being received out of order.
