bnxt_en: Support dynamic MSIX

Browse source

A range of MSIX vectors are allocated at initialization for the number
needed for RocE and L2.  During run-time, if the user increases or
decreases the number of L2 rings, all the MSIX vectors have to be
freed and a new range has to be allocated.  This is not optimal and
causes disruptions to RoCE traffic every time there is a change in L2
MSIX.

If the system supports dynamic MSIX allocations, use dynamic
allocation to add new L2 MSIX vectors or free unneeded L2 MSIX
vectors.  RoCE traffic is not affected using this scheme.
