qed: Move doorbell calculation from VF to PF
Today, the VF is aware of its queues context-ids, and calculates the doorbell address when opening its queues on its own. The configuration of doorbells in HW can sometime in the future be changed by the PF [hw has several configurable features that might affect doorbell addresses, e.g., dpm support], this would break compatibility with older VFs as their calculated doorbell addresses would be incorrect for such a configuration. In order to avoid such a backward compatibility failure, let the PF make the calculation of the doorbell offset based on the context-id, and pass that to the VF.
