Merge branch 'bnxt_en-tx-improvements'

Michael Chan says:

====================
bnxt_en: TX path improvements

All patches in this patchset are related to improving the TX path.
There are 2 areas of improvements:

1. The TX interrupt logic currently counts the number of TX completions
to determine the number of TX SKBs to free.  We now change it so that
the TX completion will now contain the hardware consumer index
information.  The driver will keep track of the latest hardware
consumer index from the last TX completion and clean up all TX SKBs
up to that index.  This scheme aligns better with future chips and
allows xmit_more code path to be more optimized.

2. The current driver logic requires an additional MSIX for each
additional MQPRIO TX ring.  This scheme uses too many MSIX vectors if
the user enables a large number of MQPRIO TCs.  We now use a new scheme
that will use the same MSIX for all the MQPRIO TX rings for each
ethtool channel.  Each ethtool TX channel can have up to 8 MQPRIO
TX rings and now they all will share the same MSIX.

v2: Rebased
