net/mlx5e: IPoIB, Block queue count configuration when sub interfaces are present
PKEY sub interfaces share the receive queues with the parent interface. While setting the sub interface queue count is not supported, it is currently possible to change the number of queues of the parent interface. Thus we can end up with inconsistent queue sizes between the parent and its sub interfaces. This change disallows setting the queue count on the parent interface when sub interfaces are present. This is achieved by introducing an explicit reference to the parent netdev in the mlx5i_priv of the child interface. An additional counter is also required on the parent side to detect when sub interfaces are attached and for proper cleanup. The rtnl lock is taken during the ethtool op and the sub interface ndo_init/uninit ops. There is no race here around counting the sub interfaces, reading the sub interfaces and setting the number of channels. The ASSERT_RTNL was added to document that.
