nvmet-tcp: enable optional queue idle period tracking

Browse source

Add 'idle_poll_period_usecs' option used by io_work() to support
network devices enabled with advanced interrupt moderation
supporting a relaxed interrupt model. It was discovered that
such a NIC used on the target was unable to support initiator
connection establishment, caused by the existing io_work()
flow that immediately exits after a loop with no activity and
does not re-queue itself.

With this new option a queue is assigned a period of time
that no activity must occur in order to become 'idle'.  Until
the queue is idle the work item is requeued.

The new module option is defined as changeable making it
flexible for testing purposes.

The pre-existing legacy behavior is preserved when no module option
for idle_poll_period_usecs is specified.
