i40e: Minimize amount of busy-waiting during AQ send

Browse source

The i40e_asq_send_command will now use a non blocking usleep_range if
possible (non-atomic context), instead of busy-waiting udelay. The
usleep_range function uses hrtimers to provide better performance and
removes the negative impact of busy-waiting in time-critical
environments.

1. Rename i40e_asq_send_command to i40e_asq_send_command_atomic
   and add 5th parameter to inform if called from an atomic context.
   Call inside usleep_range (if non-atomic) or udelay (if atomic).

2. Change i40e_asq_send_command to invoke
   i40e_asq_send_command_atomic(..., false).

3. Change two functions:
    - i40e_aq_set_vsi_uc_promisc_on_vlan
    - i40e_aq_set_vsi_mc_promisc_on_vlan
   to explicitly use i40e_asq_send_command_atomic(..., true)
   instead of i40e_asq_send_command, as they use spinlocks and do some
   work in an atomic context.
   All other calls to i40e_asq_send_command remain unchanged.
