liquidio: change octnic_ctrl_pkt to do synchronous soft commands

1. Change struct octnic_ctrl_pkt to support synchronous operation.
2. Change code which use structure octnic_ctrl_pkt to send sc's
synchronously.

liquidio: xmit_more support

Defer ringing the Tx doorbell if skb->xmit_more is set unless the Tx queue
is full or stopped. To keep latency low, use a deferral limit of 8
packets. We chose 8 because Octeon can fetch at most 8 packets in a single
PCI read, and our tests show that 8 results in low latency.

liquidio: fix VF incorrectly indicating that it successfully set its VLAN

For security reasons, NIC firmware does not allow VF to set its VLAN if PF
set it already. Firmware allows VF to set its VLAN if PF did not set it.
After the VF instructs the firmware to set the VLAN, VF always indicates
(via return 0) that the operation is successful--even for the times when it
isn't.

Put in a mechanism for the VF's set VLAN function to receive the firmware
response code, then make that function return -EPERM if the firmware
forbids the operation.

Make that mechanism available for other functions that may, in the future,
be interested in receiving the response code from the firmware. That
mechanism involves adding new fields to struct octnic_ctrl_pkt, so make all
users of struct octnic_ctrl_pkt initialize the struct to zero before using
it; otherwise, the mechanism might act on uninitialized garbage.

Add support of Cavium Liquidio ethernet adapters

Following patch V8 adds support for Cavium Liquidio pci express
based 10Gig ethernet adapters.
1) Consolidated all debug macros to either call dev_* or
netdev_* macros directly, feedback from previous patch.
2) Changed soft commands to avoid crash when running
in interrupt context.
3) Fixed link status not reflecting correct status when NetworkManager
is running. Added MODULE_FIRMWARE declarations.

Following were the previous patches.
Patch V7:
1) Minor comments from v6 release regarding debug statements.
2) Fix for large multicast lists.
3) Fixed lockup issue if port initialization fails.
4) Enabled MSI by default.

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/459514/

Patch V5:
Based on the feedback from earlier patches with regards to
consolidation of common functions like device init, register
programming for cn66xx and cn68xx devices.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/438979/

Patch V4:
Following were the changes based on the feedback from earlier patch:
1) Added mmiowb while synchronizing queue updates and other hw
