DIM (Dynamically-tuned Interrupt Moderation) is a mechanism designed for
changing the channel interrupt moderation values in order to reduce CPU
overhead for all traffic types.
Each iteration of the algorithm, DIM calculates the difference in
throughput, packet rate and interrupt rate from last iteration in order
to make a decision. DIM relies on counters for each metric. When these
counters get to their type's max value they wraparound. In this case
the delta between 'end' and 'start' samples is negative and when
translated to unsigned integers - very high. This results in a false
indication to the algorithm and might result in a wrong decision.
The fix calculates the 'distance' between 'end' and 'start' samples in a
cyclic way around the relevant type's max value. It can also be viewed as
an absolute value around the type's max value instead of around 0.
Testing show higher stability in DIM profile selection and no wraparound
issues.

DIM (Dynamically-tuned Interrupt Moderation) is a mechanism designed for
changing the channel interrupt moderation values in order to reduce CPU
overhead for all traffic types.
Until now only interrupt and packet rate were sampled.
We found a scenario on which we get a false indication since a change in
DIM caused more aggregation and reduced packet rate while increasing BW.
We now regard a change as succesfull iff:
current_BW > (prev_BW + threshold) or
current_BW ~= prev_BW and current_PR > (prev_PR + threshold) or
current_BW ~= prev_BW and current_PR ~= prev_PR and
current_IR < (prev_IR - threshold)
Where BW = Bandwidth, PR = Packet rate and IR = Interrupt rate
Improvements (ConnectX-4Lx 25GbE, single RX queue, LRO off)
--------------------------------------------------
packet size | before[Mb/s] | after[Mb/s] | gain |
2B | 343.4 | 359.4 | 4.5% |
16B | 2739.7 | 2814.8 | 2.7% |
64B | 9739 | 10185.3 | 4.5% |

Remove mlx5e_priv pointer from CQ and RQ structs,
it was needed only to access mdev pointer from priv pointer.
Instead we now pass mdev where needed.

When trying to do interface down or changing interface configuration
under heavy traffic, some of the adaptive moderation corner cases can
occur and leave a WARN_ONCE call trace in the kernel log.
Those WARN_ONCE are meant for debug only, and should have been inserted
only under debug. We avoid such call traces by removing those WARN_ONCE.
