ice: Add support for VSI allocation and deallocation
This patch introduces data structures and functions to alloc/free VSIs. The driver represents a VSI using the ice_vsi structure. Some noteworthy points about VSI allocation: 1) A VSI is allocated in the firmware using the "add VSI" admin queue command (implemented as ice_aq_add_vsi). The firmware returns an identifier for the allocated VSI. The VSI context is used to program certain aspects (loopback, queue map, etc.) of the VSI's configuration. 2) A VSI is deleted using the "free VSI" admin queue command (implemented as ice_aq_free_vsi). 3) The driver represents a VSI using struct ice_vsi. This is allocated and initialized as part of the ice_vsi_alloc flow, and deallocated as part of the ice_vsi_delete flow. 4) Once the VSI is created, a netdev is allocated and associated with it. The VSI's ring and vector related data structures are also allocated and initialized. 5) A VSI's queues can either be contiguous or scattered. To do this, the driver maintains a bitmap (vsi->avail_txqs) which is kept in sync with the firmware's VSI queue allocation imap. If the VSI can't get a contiguous queue allocation, it will fallback to scatter. This is implemented in ice_vsi_get_qs which is called as part of the VSI setup flow. In the release flow, the VSI's queues are released and the bitmap is updated to reflect this by ice_vsi_put_qs.
