net/mlx5e: Use the 'num_doorbells' devlink param

Use the new devlink param to control how many doorbells mlx5e devices
allocate and use. The maximum number of doorbells configurable is capped
to the maximum number of channels. This only applies to the Ethernet
part, the RDMA devices using mlx5 manage their own doorbells.

+   * - ``num_doorbells``

+     - This controls the number of channel doorbells used by the netdev. In all
+       cases, an additional doorbell is allocated and used for non-channel
+       communication (e.g. for PTP, HWS, etc.). Supported values are:
+
+       - 0: No channel-specific doorbells, use the global one for everything.
+       - [1, max_num_channels]: Spread netdev channels equally across these
+         doorbells.
 
 The ``mlx5`` driver also implements the following driver-specific
 parameters.
