octeontx2-pf: Add packet transmission support
This patch adds the packet transmission support. For a given skb prepares send queue descriptors (SQEs) and pushes them to HW. Here driver doesn't maintain it's own SQ rings, SQEs are pushed to HW using a silicon specific operations called LMTST. From the instuction HW derives the transmit queue number and queues the SQE to that queue. These LMTST instructions are designed to avoid queue maintenance in SW and lockless behavior ie when multiple cores are trying to add SQEs to same queue then HW will takecare of serialization, no need for SW to hold locks. Also supports scatter/gather.
