1e23f076b2 ice: Delay netdev registration
Once a netdev is registered, the corresponding network interface can
be immediately used by userspace utilities (like say NetworkManager).
This can be problematic if the driver technically isn't fully up yet.

Move netdev registration to the end of probe, as by this time the
driver data structures and device will be initialized as expected.

However, delaying netdev registration causes a failure in the aRFS flow
where netdev->reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED condition is checked. It's
not clear why this check was added to begin with, so remove it.
Local testing didn't indicate any issues with this change.

The state bit check in ice_open was put in as a stop-gap measure to
prevent a premature interface up operation. This is no longer needed,
so remove it.

28bf26724f ice: Implement aRFS
Enable accelerated Receive Flow Steering (aRFS). It is used to steer Rx
flows to a specific queue. This functionality is triggered by the network
stack through ndo_rx_flow_steer and requires Flow Director (ntuple on) to
function.

The fltr_info is used to add/remove/update flow rules in the HW, the
fltr_state is used to determine what to do with the filter with respect
to HW and/or SW, and the flow_id is used in co-ordination with the
network stack.

The work for aRFS is split into two paths: the ndo_rx_flow_steer
operation and the ice_service_task. The former is where the kernel hands
us an Rx SKB among other items to setup aRFS and the latter is where
the driver adds/updates/removes filter rules from HW and updates filter
state.

In the Rx path the following things can happen:
        1. New aRFS entries are added to the hash table and the state is
           set to ICE_ARFS_INACTIVE so the filter can be updated in HW
           by the ice_service_task path.
        2. aRFS entries have their Rx Queue updated if we receive a
           pre-existing flow_id and the filter state is ICE_ARFS_ACTIVE.
           The state is set to ICE_ARFS_INACTIVE so the filter can be
           updated in HW by the ice_service_task path.
        3. aRFS entries marked as ICE_ARFS_TODEL are deleted

In the ice_service_task path the following things can happen:
        1. New aRFS entries marked as ICE_ARFS_INACTIVE are added or
           updated in HW.
           and their state is updated to ICE_ARFS_ACTIVE.
        2. aRFS entries are deleted from HW and their state is updated
           to ICE_ARFS_TODEL.
