From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com>
Add two parameters for drivers supporting Rx CQE Coalescing.
ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_RX_CQE_FRAMES:
Maximum number of frames that can be coalesced into a CQE.
ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_RX_CQE_NSECS:
Time out value in nanoseconds after the first packet arrival in a
coalesced CQE to be sent.
