scsi: lpfc: Replace io_channels for nvme and fcp with general hdw_queues per cpu



Currently, both nvme and fcp each have their own concept of an io_channel,
which is a combination wq/cq and associated msix.  Different cpus would
share an io_channel.

The driver is now moving to per-cpu wq/cq pairs and msix vectors.  The
driver will still use separate wq/cq pairs per protocol on each cpu, but
the protocols will share the msix vector.

Given the elimination of the nvme and fcp io channels, the module
parameters will be removed.  A new parameter, lpfc_hdw_queue is added which
allows the wq/cq pair allocation per cpu to be overridden and allocated to
lesser value. If lpfc_hdw_queue is zero, the number of pairs allocated will
be based on the number of cpus. If non-zero, the parameter specifies the
number of queues to allocate. At this time, the maximum non-zero value is
64.

To manage this new paradigm, a new hardware queue structure is created to
track queue activity and relationships.

As MSIX vector allocation must be known before setting up the
relationships, msix allocation now occurs before queue datastructures are
allocated. If the number of vectors allocated is less than the desired
hardware queues, the hardware queue counts will be reduced to the number of
vectors
