If HW Channel (HWC) is not responding, reduce the waiting time, so further
steps will fail quickly.
This will prevent getting stuck for a long time (30 minutes or more), for
example, during unloading while HWC is not responding.

NET_SHAPER is always selected for MANA driver. When NET_SHAPER is enabled,
netdev_lock_ops_to_full() reduces effectively to only an assert for lock,
which is always held in the path when NET_SHAPER is enabled.

Remove the redundant netdev_lock_ops_to_full() call.

<title>net: mana: Use page pool fragments for RX buffers instead of full pages to improve memory efficiency.</title>

<id>730ff06d3f5cc2ce0348414b78c10528b767d4a3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch enhances RX buffer handling in the mana driver by allocating
pages from a page pool and slicing them into MTU-sized fragments, rather
than dedicating a full page per packet. This approach is especially
beneficial on systems with large base page sizes like 64KB.

Key improvements:

- Proper integration of page pool for RX buffer allocations.
- MTU-sized buffer slicing to improve memory utilization.
- Reduce overall per Rx queue memory footprint.
- Automatic fallback to full-page buffers when:
   * Jumbo frames are enabled (MTU &gt; PAGE_SIZE / 2).
   * The XDP path is active, to avoid complexities with fragment reuse.

Testing on VMs with 64KB pages shows around 200% throughput improvement.
Memory efficiency is significantly improved due to reduced wastage in page
allocations. Example: We are now able to fit 35 rx buffers in a single 64kb
page for MTU size of 1500, instead of 1 rx buffer per page previously.

Tested:

- iperf3, iperf2, and nttcp benchmarks.
- Jumbo frames with MTU 9000.
- Native XDP programs (XDP_PASS, XDP_DROP, XDP_TX, XDP_REDIRECT) for
  testing the XDP path in driver.
- Memory leak detection (kmemleak).
- Driver load/unload, reboot, and stress scenarios.

In the cleanup phase, the HWC is no longer responding, so set hwc_timeout

MANA supports RDMA in PF mode. The driver should record the doorbell
physical address when in PF mode.

The doorbell physical address is used by the RDMA driver to map
doorbell pages of the device to user-mode applications through RDMA
verbs interface. In the past, they have been mapped to user-mode while
the device is in VF mode. With the support for PF mode implemented,
also expose those pages in PF mode.

Support for PF mode is implemented in
