Currently, unicast/multicast loopback raw ethernet (non-RDMA) packets
are sent back to the vport. A unicast loopback packet is the packet
with destination MAC address the same as the source MAC address. For
multicast, the destination MAC address is in the vport's multicast
filter list.
Moreover, the local loopback is not needed if there is one or none
user space context.
After this patch, the raw ethernet unicast and multicast local
loopback are disabled by default. When there is more than one user
space context, the local loopback is enabled.
Note that when local loopback is disabled, raw ethernet packets are
not looped back to the vport and are forwarded to the next routing
level (eswitch, or multihost switch, or out to the wire depending on
the configuration).

This change adds convenience functions to setup a flow steering rule based on
a TCP socket. The helper function gets all the address information from the
socket and returns a steering rule, to be used with HW TLS RX offload.

Previously flow steering tables and rules were only created and destroyed
at link up and down events, respectivly. Due to new requirements for adding
TLS RX flow tables and rules, the main flow steering table must always be
available as there are permanent redirections from the TLS RX flow table
to the vlan flow table.

All packets must go through the indirection table, RQT,
because it is not possible to modify the RQN of the TIR

Add support to map an SQ to a specific schedule queue using a
special WQE as performance enhancement.
SQ remap operation is handled by a privileged internal queue, IQ,
and the mapping is enabled from one rate to another.
The transition from paced to non-paced should however always go
through FW.

Internal send queues are regular sendqueues which are reserved for WQE commands
towards the hardware and firmware. These queues typically carry resync
information for ongoing TLS RX connections and when changing schedule queues
for rate limited connections.
The internal queue, IQ, code is more or less a stripped down copy
of the existing SQ managing code with exception of:
1) An optional single segment memory buffer which can be read or
written as a whole by the hardware, may be provided.
2) An optional completion callback for all transmit operations, may
be provided.
3) Does not support mbufs.

Allocate the RQT once, pointing all initial entries to the drop RQN.
When opening the channels simplify modify the RQT, directing all traffic
to the new RQNs. Similarly when closing the channels point all RQT entries
back to the so-called drop RQN.

What is a drop RQ and why is it needed?
The RSS indirection table, also called the RQT, selects the
destination RQ based on the receive queue number, RQN. The RQT is
frequently referred to by flow steering rules to distribute traffic
among multiple RQs. The problem is that the RQs cannot be destroyed
before the RQT referring them is destroyed too. Further, TLS RX
rules may still be referring to the RQT even if the link went
down. Because there is no magic RQN for dropping packets, we create
a dummy RQ, also called drop RQ, which sole purpose is to drop all
received packets. When the link goes down this RQN is filled in all
RQT entries, of the main RQT, so the real RQs which are about to be
destroyed can be released and the TLS RX rules can be sustained.

During packet reception the network stack frequently transmit data in
response to TCP window updates. To reduce the number of transmit doorbells
needed, inhibit all transmit doorbells designated for the same channel until
after the reception of packets for the given channel is completed.
While at it slightly refactor the mlx5e_tx_notify_hw() function:
1) The doorbell information is always stored into sq->doorbell.d64 .
No need to pass a separate pointer to this variable.
2) Move checks for skipping doorbell writes inside this function.

IB spec says that a lid should be ignored when link layer is Ethernet,
for example when building or parsing a CM request message (CA17-34).
However, since ib_lid_be16() and ib_lid_cpu16() validates the slid,
not only when link layer is IB, we set the slid to zero to prevent
false warnings in the kernel log.
