bnxt_en: Improve VF/PF link change logic.
Link status query firmware messages originating from the VFs are forwarded to the PF. The driver handles these interactions in a workqueue for the VF and PF. The VF driver waits for the response from the PF in the workqueue. If the PF and VF driver are running on the same host and the work for both PF and VF are queued on the same workqueue, the VF driver may not get the response if the PF work item is queued behind it on the same workqueue. This will lead to the VF link query message timing out. To prevent this, we create a private workqueue for PFs instead of using the common workqueue. The VF query and PF response will never be on the same workqueue. Fixes: c0c050c ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")
