[PATCH iwl-next v2 2/8] ixgbe: add ixgbe_container_is_rx() helper and refine RX adaptive ITR

[Aleksandr Loktionov <aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com>]

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>

Add an ixgbe_container_is_rx() helper to cleanly distinguish RX from TX
ring containers inside ixgbe_update_itr().

Refine the RX-specific latency-detection path:

 - Replace the shared "packets < 4 or bytes < 9000" threshold with an
   RX-specific check of "1..23 packets and bytes < 12112".  When that
   condition holds, target 8x the observed byte count in the next
   interval by computing avg_wire_size = (bytes + packets * 24) * 2,
   clamped to [2560, 12800], and jumping directly to the speed-based
   ITR calculation.  This provides finer-grained control over low-rate
   RX latency workloads without affecting TX.

 - Remove the separate "no packets" special-case block.  When packets
   is 0 it falls into the "< 48" branch.  The mode-tracking logic in
   that branch is extended: fewer than 8 packets forces latency mode;
   8..47 packets preserves the current mode.  This replaces the old
   unconditional "add LATENCY flag from ring_container->itr" carried
   over from the removed block.

 - Remove the adjust_by_size label and the associated "halve
   avg_wire_size in latency mode" step.  The Rx latency path now
   pre-calculates avg_wire_size independently and the bulk path no
   longer needs the halving to compensate for incorrect thresholds.
   Rename the jump target to adjust_for_speed to reflect its purpose.

v1 -> v2:
 - Split from monolithic ITR cleanup; adds ixgbe_container_is_rx(),
   refines RX latency thresholds (24 pkts / 12112 B), and removes the
   separate no-packet and adjust_by_size code paths.
