This series contains updates to mlx5 core and mlx5e netdev drivers.
 The main highlight of this series is the RX optimizations for striding RQ path,
 introduced by Tariq.
 
 First Four patches are trivial misc cleanups.
  - Spelling mistake fix
  - Dead code removal
  - Warning messages
 
 RX optimizations for striding RQ:
 
 1) RX refactoring, cleanups and micro optimizations
    - MTU calculation simplifications, obsoletes some WQEs-to-packets translation
      functions and helps delete ~60 LOC.
    - Do not busy-wait a pending UMR completion.
    - post the new values of UMR WQE inline, instead of using a data pointer.
    - use pre-initialized structures to save calculations in datapath.
 
 2) Use linear SKB in Striding RQ "build_skb", (Using linear SKB has many advantages):
     - Saves a memcpy of the headers.
     - No page-boundary checks in datapath.
     - No filler CQEs.
     - Significantly smaller CQ.
     - SKB data continuously resides in linear part, and not split to
       small amount (linear part) and large amount (fragment).
       This saves datapath cycles in driver and improves utilization
       of SKB fragments in GRO.
     - The fragments of a resulting GRO SKB follow the IP forwarding
       assumption of equal-size fragments.
 
     implementation details:
     HW writes the packets to the beginning of a stride,
     i.e. does not keep headroom. To overcome this we make sure we can
     extend backwards and use the last bytes of stride i-1.
     Extra care is needed for stride 0 as it has no preceding stride.
     We make sure headroom bytes are available by shifting the buffer
     pointer passed to HW by headroom bytes.
 
     This configuration now becomes default, whenever capable.
     Of course, this implies turning LRO off.
 
     Performance testing:
     ConnectX-5, single core, single RX ring, default MTU.
 
     UDP packet rate, early drop in TC layer:
 
     --------------------------------------------
     | pkt size | before    | after     | ratio |
     --------------------------------------------
     | 1500byte | 4.65 Mpps | 5.96 Mpps | 1.28x |
     |  500byte | 5.23 Mpps | 5.97 Mpps | 1.14x |
     |   64byte | 5.94 Mpps | 5.96 Mpps | 1.00x |
     --------------------------------------------
 
     TCP streams: ~20% gain
 
 3) Support XDP over Striding RQ:
     Now that linear SKB is supported over Striding RQ,
     we can support XDP by setting stride size to PAGE_SIZE
     and headroom to XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM.
 
     Striding RQ is capable of a higher packet-rate than
     conventional RQ.
 
     Performance testing:
     ConnectX-5, 24 rings, default MTU.
     CQE compression ON (to reduce completions BW in PCI).
 
     XDP_DROP packet rate:
     --------------------------------------------------
     | pkt size | XDP rate   | 100GbE linerate | pct% |
     --------------------------------------------------
     |   64byte | 126.2 Mpps |      148.0 Mpps |  85% |
     |  128byte |  80.0 Mpps |       84.8 Mpps |  94% |
     |  256byte |  42.7 Mpps |       42.7 Mpps | 100% |
     |  512byte |  23.4 Mpps |       23.4 Mpps | 100% |
     --------------------------------------------------
 
 4) Remove mlx5 page_ref bulking in Striding RQ and use page_ref_inc only when needed.
    Without this bulking, we have:
     - no atomic ops on WQE allocation or free
     - one atomic op per SKB
     - In the default MTU configuration (1500, stride size is 2K),
       the non-bulking method execute 2 atomic ops as before
     - For larger MTUs with stride size of 4K, non-bulking method
       executes only a single op.
     - For XDP (stride size of 4K, no SKBs), non-bulking have no atomic ops per packet at all.
 
     Performance testing:
     ConnectX-5, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz.
 
     Single core packet rate (64 bytes).
 
     Early drop in TC: no degradation.
 
     XDP_DROP:
     before: 14,270,188 pps
     after:  20,503,603 pps, 43% improvement.
