ice: initialize mailbox snapshot earlier in PF init

Now that we no longer depend on the number of VFs being allocated, we can
move the ice_mbx_init_snapshot function earlier. This will be required by
Scalable IOV as we will not be calling ice_sriov_configure for Scalable
VFs.

ice: merge ice_mbx_report_malvf with ice_mbx_vf_state_handler

The ice_mbx_report_malvf function is used to update the
ice_mbx_vf_info.malicious member after we detect a malicious VF. This is
done by calling ice_mbx_report_malvf after ice_mbx_vf_state_handler sets
its "is_malvf" return parameter true.

Instead of requiring two steps, directly update the malicious bit in the
state handler, and remove the need for separately calling
ice_mbx_report_malvf.

ice: remove ice_mbx_deinit_snapshot

The ice_mbx_deinit_snapshot function's only remaining job is to clear the
previous snapshot data. This snapshot data is initialized when SR-IOV adds
VFs, so it is not necessary to clear this data when removing VFs. Since no
allocation occurs we no longer need to free anything and we can safely
remove this function.

ice: move VF overflow message count into struct ice_mbx_vf_info

The ice driver has some logic in ice_vf_mbx.c used to detect potentially
malicious VF behavior with regards to overflowing the PF mailbox. This
logic currently stores message counts in struct ice_mbx_vf_counter.vf_cntr
as an array. This array is allocated during initialization with
ice_mbx_init_snapshot.

This logic makes sense for SR-IOV where all VFs are allocated at once up
front. However, in the future with Scalable IOV this logic will not work.
VFs can be added and removed dynamically. We could try to keep the vf_cntr
array for the maximum possible number of VFs, but this is a waste of
memory.

Use the recently introduced struct ice_mbx_vf_info structure to store the
message count. Pass a pointer to the mbx_info for a VF instead of using its
VF ID. Replace the array of VF message counts with a linked list that
tracks all currently active mailbox tracking info structures.

ice: track malicious VFs in new ice_mbx_vf_info structure

Currently the PF tracks malicious VFs in a malvfs bitmap which is used by
the ice_mbx_clear_malvf and ice_mbx_report_malvf functions. This bitmap is
used to ensure that we only report a VF as malicious once rather than
continuously spamming the event log.

This mechanism of storage for the malicious indication works well enough
for SR-IOV. However, it will not work with Scalable IOV. This is because
Scalable IOV VFs can be allocated dynamically and might change VF ID when
their underlying VSI changes.

To support this, the mailbox overflow logic will need to be refactored.
First, introduce a new ice_mbx_vf_info structure which will be used to
store data about a VF. Embed this structure in the struct ice_vf, and
ensure it gets initialized when a new VF is created.

For now this only stores the malicious indicator bit. Pass a pointer to the
VF's mbx_info structure instead of using a bitmap to keep track of these
bits.

A future change will extend this structure and the rest of the logic
associated with the overflow detection.

ice: convert ice_mbx_clear_malvf to void and use WARN

The ice_mbx_clear_malvf function checks for a few error conditions before
clearing the appropriate data. These error conditions are really warnings
that should never occur in a properly initialized driver. Every caller of
ice_mbx_clear_malvf just prints a dev_dbg message on failure which will
generally be ignored.

Convert this function to void and switch the error return values to
WARN_ON. This will make any potentially misconfiguration more visible and
makes future refactors that involve changing how we store the malicious VF
data easier.

# d775155a 22-Feb-2022 Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com>

ice: rename ice_sriov.c to ice_vf_mbx.c

The ice_sriov.c file primarily contains code which handles the logic for
mailbox overflow detection and some other utility functions related to
the virtualization mailbox.

The bulk of the SR-IOV implementation is actually found in
ice_virtchnl_pf.c, and this file isn't strictly SR-IOV specific.

In the future, the ice driver will support an additional virtualization
scheme known as Scalable IOV, and the code in this file will be used
for this alternative implementation.

Rename this file (and its associated header) to ice_vf_mbx.c, so that we
can later re-use the ice_sriov.c file as the SR-IOV specific file.
