This change reorders the mapping of rings to q_vectors in the case that the
number of rings exceeds the number of q_vectors. Previously we would
allocate the first R/N queues to the first q_vector where R is the number
of rings and N is the number of q_vectors. Instead of doing this we can do
a better job of interleaving the rings to the CPUs by assigning every Nth
ring to the q_vector.
The below tables illustrate this change for the R = 16 N = 4 case.
Before patch After patch
q_vector: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3
Rings: 0 4 8 12 0 1 2 3
1 5 9 13 4 5 6 7
3 6 10 14 8 9 10 11
4 7 11 15 12 13 14 15
This should improve the performance for both DCB or ATR when the number of
rings exceeds the number of q_vectors allocated by the adapter.

This patch makes it so that we identify FCoE rings earlier than
ixgbe_set_rx_buffer_len. Instead we identify the Rx FCoE rings at
allocation time in ixgbe_alloc_q_vector.
The motivation behind this change is to avoid memory corruption when FCoE
is enabled. Without this change we were initializing the rings at 0, and
2K on systems with 4K pages, then when we bumped the buffer size to 4K with
order 1 pages we were accessing offsets 2K and 6K instead of 0 and 4K.
This was resulting in memory corruptions.

Resolve namespace issues when FCoE or DCB is not enabled.
The issue is with certain configurations we end up with namespace
problems. A simple example:
ixgbe_main.c
- defines func A()
- uses func A()
ixgbe_fcoe.c
- uses func A()
ixgbe.h
- has prototype for func A()
For default (FCoE included) all is good. But when it isn't the namespace
checker complains about how func A() could be static.
To resolve this, created a ixgbe_lib file to contain functions used
by DCB/FCoE and their helper functions so that they are always in
namespace whether or not DCB/FCoE is enabled.
