iw_cxgb4: Choose appropriate hw mtu index and ISS for iWARP connections



Select the appropriate hw mtu index and initial sequence number to optimize
hw memory performance.

Add new cxgb4_best_aligned_mtu() which allows callers to provide enough
information to be used to [possibly] select an MTU which will result in the
TCP Data Segment Size (AKA Maximum Segment Size) to be an aligned value.

If an RTR message exhange is required, then align the ISS to 8B - 1 + 4, so
that after the SYN the send seqno will align on a 4B boundary. The RTR
message exchange will leave the send seqno aligned on an 8B boundary.
If an RTR is not required, then align the ISS to 8B - 1.  The goal is
to have the send seqno be 8B aligned when we send the first FPDU.
