The bnx2x driver in its pci shutdown() callback releases its pci bars (in the
same manner it does during its pci remove() callback).
During a system reboot while VFs are enabled, its possible for the VF's remove
to be called (as a result of pci_disable_sriov()) after its shutdown callback
has already finished running; This will cause a paging request fault as the VF
tries to access the pci bar which it has previously released, crashing the
system.

This patch further differentiates the shutdown and remove callbacks, preventing the
pci release procedures from being called during shutdown.

<title>net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding</title>

<id>f663dd9aaf9ed124f25f0f8452edf238f087ad50</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:

- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
  instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
  lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
  control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
  watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
  when tso is disabled for lower device.

Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.

With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.

In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

bnx2x triggers warnings with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2253 at lib/dma-debug.c:887 check_unmap+0xf8/0x920()
  bnx2x 0000:28:00.0: DMA-API: device driver frees DMA memory with
  different size [device address=0x00000000da2b389e] [map size=1490 bytes]
  [unmap size=66 bytes]

The reason is that bnx2x splits a TSO BD into two BDs (headers + data)
using one DMA mapping for both, but it uses only the length of the first
BD when unmapping.

This patch fixes the bug by unmapping the whole length of the two BDs.

Starting with commit 80c33dd "net: add might_sleep() call to napi_disable"
bnx2x fails the might_sleep tests causing a stack trace to appear whenever
the driver is unloaded, as local_bh_disable() is being called before
napi_disable().

This changes the locking schematics related to CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL,
preventing the need for calling local_bh_disable() and thus eliminating
the issue.

If the hypervisor configures a vlan for the VF via the PF, the expected
result is that only packets tagged by said vlan will be received by the VF
(and that vlan will be silently removed).
Due to an incorrect manipulation of vlan filters in the driver, the
VF can receive untagged traffic even if the hypervisor configured
some vlan for it.

This patch corrects the behaviour.

There are 2 different (related) flows in the slowpath configuration
that utilize the same pointer and cast it to different structs;
This is obviously incorrect as the intended allocated memory is that
of the smaller struct, possibly causing the flow utilizing the larger
struct to corrupt other slowpath configuration.

Since both flows are exclusive, set the allocated memory to be a union
of both structs.

Number of VFs in PCIe configuration space is zero-based. Driver incorrectly
