Add a new function for returning descriptors the user received after an xsk_ring_cons__peek call. After the application has gotten a number of descriptors from a ring, it might not be able to or want to process them all for various reasons. Therefore, it would be useful to have an interface for returning or cancelling a number of them so that they are returned to the ring. This patch adds a new function called xsk_ring_cons__cancel that performs this operation on nb descriptors counted from the end of the batch of descriptors that was received through the peek call.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
