net: enetc: only commit preemptible TCs to hardware when MM TX is active

Browse source 
This was left as TODO in commit 01e23b2b3b ("net: enetc: add support
for preemptible traffic classes") since it's relatively complicated.

Where this makes a difference is with a configuration as follows:

ethtool --set-mm eno0 pmac-enabled on tx-enabled on verify-enabled on

Preemptible packets should only be sent when the MAC Merge TX direction
becomes active (i.o.w. when the verification process succeeds, aka when
the link partner confirms it can process preemptible traffic). But the
tc qdisc with the preemptible traffic classes is offloaded completely
asynchronously w.r.t. the MM becoming active.

The ENETC manual does suggest that this should be handled in the driver:
"On startup, software should wait for the verification process to
complete (MMCSR[VSTS]=011) before initiating traffic".

Adding the necessary logic allows future selftests to uphold the claim
that an inactive or disabled MAC Merge layer should never send data
packets through the pMAC.

This change moves enetc_set_ptcfpr() from enetc.c to enetc_ethtool.c,
where its only caller is now - enetc_mm_commit_preemptible_tcs().
