On modern hardware with a large number of cpus and using XDP,
the current MSIX limit is insufficient.  Bump the limit in
order to allow more queues.

Perform CQ initialization in the driver when the capability is supported
by the FW.  When passing the CQ to HW indicate that the CQ buffer has
been pre-initialized.

Doing so decreases CQ creation time.  Testing on P8 showed a single 2048
entry CQ creation time was reduced from ~395us to ~170us, which is
2.3x faster.

Crdump allows the driver to create a snapshot of the FW PCI
crspace and health buffer during a critical FW issue.
In case of a FW command timeout, FW getting stuck or a non zero
value on the catastrophic buffer, a snapshot will be taken.

The snapshot is exposed using devlink, cr-space, fw-health
address regions are registered on init and snapshots are attached
once a new snapshot is collected by the driver.

Health buffer address is a 32 bit PCI address offset provided by
the FW. This offset is used for reading FW health debug data
located on the shared CR space. Cr space is accessible in both
driver and FW and allows for different queries and configurations.
Health buffer size is always 64B of readable data followed by a
lock which is used to block volatile CR space access.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable mlx4_srq.refcount is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
