Tal Gilboa cbce4f4447 net/mlx5e: Enable adaptive-TX moderation
Add support for adaptive TX moderation. This greatly reduces TX interrupt
rate and increases bandwidth, mostly for TCP bandwidth over ARM
architecture (below). There is a slight single stream TCP with very large
message sizes degradation (x86). In this case if there's any moderation on
transmitted packets the bandwidth would reduce due to hitting TCP output limit.
Since this is a synthetic case, this is still worth doing.

Performance improvement (ConnectX-4Lx 40GbE, ARM)
TCP 64B bandwidth with 1-50 streams increased 6-35%.
TCP 64B bandwidth with 100-500 streams increased 20-70%.

Performance improvement (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86)
Bandwidth: increased up to 40% (1024B with 10s of streams).
Interrupt rate: reduced up to 50% (1024B with 1000s of streams).

Performance degradation (ConnectX-5 100GbE, x86)
Bandwidth: up to 10% decrease single stream TCP (1MB message size from
51Gb/s to 47Gb/s).
