[PATCH mlx5-next v6 3/4] net/mlx5: Dynamically assign MSI-X vectors count

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

The number of MSI-X vectors is PCI property visible through lspci that
field is read-only and configured by the device. The mlx5 devices work
in two possible modes: static assignment or dynamic.

Static assignment means that all newly created VFs have a stable number of
MSI-X vectors. Such partitioning doesn't utilize the newly created VF
because it is unknown to the device the future load and configuration
where that VF will be used.

The second mode is a dynamic assignment and provided to overcome the
inefficiency in the spread of such MSI-X vectors. It allows the kernel
to convey a new number of vectors based on the administrator's knowledge.

For example: if VF is bound to a powerful VM with many CPUs, the administrator
will configure a larger number of MSI-X vectors than in static mode. It will
utilize the mlx5 device efficiently.

The assignment is performed before the driver is probed on that VF.

Due to the internal to mlx5 implementation, the device provides more dynamic
vectors than static vectors. In this patch, we enable this feature, and such
change immediately increases the amount of MSI-X vectors for the system with
2 VFs from 12 vectors, to be 32 vectors per-VF.
