40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-10-28

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.

Carolyn provides a couple of fixes, first resolving a problem in the
client interface that was causing random stack traces in the RDMA driver
which was due to a timing related NULL pointer dereference.  Fixed a
problem where it could take a very long time to print the link down
notification, by changing how often we update link info from firmware.

Alex provides a number of changes, first is a re-write of the bust wait
loop in the Flow Director transmit function to reduce code size.  Cleans
up unused code in favor of the same functionality which can be inlined.
Dropped the functionality for SCTP since we cannot currently support it.
Cleans up redundant code in the receive clean-up path.  Finally cleaned
up the convoluted configuration for how the driver handled the debug
flags contained in msg_level.

Filip fixes an incorrect bit mask which was being used for testing the
"get link status".  Cleaned up a workaround that is no longer needed
for production NICs and was causing frames to pass while disregarding
the VLAN tagging.

Mitch brings another fix for the client interface supporting the VF RDMA
driver to allow clients to recover from reset by re-opening existing
clients.

Alan fixes a bug in which a "perfect storm" can occur and cause interrupts
to fail to be correctly affinitized.

Lihong fixes a confusing dmesg reported when users were using ethtool -L
option.
