Intel Wired LAN Driver Fixes 2017-11-21

This series contains fixes for igb/vf, ixgbe/vf, i40e/vf and fm10k.

Jake fixes a regression issue with older firmware, where we were using
the NVM lock to synchronize NVM reads for all devices and firmware
versions, yet this caused issues with older firmware prior to version
1.5.  Fixed this by only grabbing the lock for newer devices and firmware
version 1.5 or newer.

Zijie Pan fixes the calculation of the i40e VF MAC addresses, where it was
possible to increment to the next MAC entry without calling
i40e_add_mac_filter().

Amritha removes the upper limit of 64 queues on a channel VSI since the
upper bound is determined by the VSI's num_queue_pairs.

Filip fixes an issue during FLR resets, where should have been checking
for upcoming core reset and if so, just return with I40E_ERR_NOT_READY.

Alan fixes the notifying clients of l2 parameters by copying the
parameters to the client instance struct and re-organizes the priority
in which the client tasks fire so that if the flag for notifying l2
params is set, it will trigger before the client open task.  Also fixed
the promiscuous settings after reset for all the VSI's.

Brian King from IBM fixes an issue seen on Power systems which would
result in skb list corruption and eventual kernel oops.  Brian
provides the same fix for nearly all our drivers, to replace the
read_barrier_depends with smp_rmb() to ensure loads are ordered with
respect to the load of tx_buffer->next_to_watch.
