net/mlx5e: Let channels be SD-aware
Distribute the channels between the different SD-devices to acheive local numa node performance on multiple numas. Each channel works against one specific mdev, creating all datapath queues against it. We distribute channels to mdevs in a round-robin policy. Example for 2 mdevs and 6 channels: +-------+---------+ | ch ix | mdev ix | +-------+---------+ | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 0 | | 3 | 1 | | 4 | 0 | | 5 | 1 | +-------+---------+ This round-robin distribution policy is preferred over another suggested intuitive distribution, in which we first distribute one half of the channels to mdev #0 and then the second half to mdev #1. We prefer round-robin for a reason: it is less influenced by changes in the number of channels. The mapping between channel index and mdev is fixed, no matter how many channels the user configures. As the channel stats are persistent to channels closure, changing the mapping every single time would turn the accumulative stats less representing of the channel's history. Per-channel objects should stop using the primary mdev (priv->mdev) directly, and instead move to using their own channel's mdev.
