f6dfa31509 nfp: ccm: increase message limits
Increase the batch limit to consume small message bursts more
effectively. Practically, the effect on the 'add' messages is not
significant since the mailbox is sized such that the 'add' messages are
still limited to the same order of magnitude that it was originally set
for.

Furthermore, increase the queue size limit to 1024 entries. This further
improves the handling of bursts of small control messages.

0f93242d96 nfp: tls: ignore queue limits for delete commands
We need to do our best not to drop delete commands, otherwise
we will have stale entries in the connection table.  Ignore
the control message queue limits for delete commands.

e2c7114a12 nfp: add async version of mailbox communication
Some control messages must be sent from atomic context.  The mailbox
takes sleeping locks and uses a waitqueue so add a "posted" version
of communication.

Trylock the semaphore and if that's successful kick of the device
communication.  The device communication will be completed from
a workqueue, which will also release the semaphore.

If locks are taken queue the message and return.  Schedule a
different workqueue to take the semaphore and run the communication.
Note that the there are currently no atomic users which would actually
need the return value, so all replies to posted messages are just
freed.

We need the name nfp_ccm_mbox_alloc() for allocating the mailbox
communication channel itself.

d3e4dfe060 nfp: add support for sending control messages via mailbox
FW may prefer to handle some communication via a mailbox
or the vNIC may simply not have a control queue (VFs).
Add a way of exchanging ccm-compatible messages via a
mailbox.
