eth: fbnic: Allocate a netdevice and napi vectors with queues



Allocate a netdev and figure out basics like how many queues
we need, MAC address, MTU bounds. Kick off a service task
to do various periodic things like health checking.
The service task only runs when device is open.

We have four levels of objects here:
 - ring - A HW ring with head / tail pointers,
 - triad - Two submission and one completion ring,
 - NAPI - NAPI, with one IRQ and any number of Rx and Tx triads,
 - Netdev - The ultimate container of the rings and napi vectors.

The "triad" is the only less-than-usual construct. On Rx we have
two "free buffer" submission rings, one for packet headers and
one for packet data. On Tx we have separate rings for XDP Tx
and normal Tx. So we ended up with ring triplets in both
directions.

We keep NAPIs on a local list, even though core already maintains a list.
Later on having a separate list will matter for live reconfig.
We introduce the list already, the churn would not be worth it.
