The bnx2x sriov mechanisms were done in the bnx2x slowpath workitem which
runs on the bnx2x's workqueue; This workitem is also responsible for the bottom
half of interrupt handling in the driver, and specifically it also receives
FW notifications of ramrod completions, allowing other flows to progress.

The original design of the sriov reltaed-flows was based on the notion such
flows must not sleep, since their context is the slowpath workitem.
Otherwise, we might reach timeouts - those flows may wait for ramrod completion
that will never arrive as the workitem wlll not be re-scheduled until that same
flow will be over.

In more recent time bnx2x started supporting features in which the VF interface
can be configured by the tools accessing the PF on the hypervisor.
This support created possible races on the VF-PF lock (which is taken either
when the PF is handling a VF message or when the PF is doing some slowpath work
on behalf of the VF) which may cause timeouts on the VF side and lags on the PF
side.

This patch changes the scheme - it creates a new workqueue for sriov related
tasks and moves all handling currently done in the slowpath task into the the
new workqueue.

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in

dev_consume_skb_any was choosen as it preserves the current

is because it is correct most of the time as most packets
will have been successfully transmitted not dropeed.
