net/mlx5e: Reduce interface downtime on configuration change
This series significantly reduces the interface downtime while swapping
channels during a configuration change, on capable devices.
Here we remove an old requirement on operations ordering that became
obsolete on recent capable devices. This helps cutting the downtime by a
factor of magnitude, ~80% in our example.
Perf numbers:
Measured the number of dropped packets in a simple ping flood test,
during a configuration change operation, that switches the number of
channels from 247 to 248.
Before: 71 packets lost
After: 15 packets lost, ~80% saving.
