net/mlx5e: Add device PCIe congestion ethtool stats
Implement the PCIe Congestion Event notifier which triggers a work item
to query the PCIe Congestion Event object. The result of the congestion
state is reflected in the new ethtool stats:
* pci_bw_inbound_high: the device has crossed the high threshold for
inbound PCIe traffic.
* pci_bw_inbound_low: the device has crossed the low threshold for
inbound PCIe traffic
* pci_bw_outbound_high: the device has crossed the high threshold for
outbound PCIe traffic.
* pci_bw_outbound_low: the device has crossed the low threshold for
outbound PCIe traffic
The high and low thresholds are currently configured at 90% and 75%.
These are hysteresis thresholds which help to check if the
PCI bus on the device side is in a congested state.
If low + 1 = high then the device is in a congested state. If low == high
then the device is not in a congested state.
The counters are also documented.
A follow-up patch will make the thresholds configurable.
