Separate the overflow handling from the hardware interrupt status analysis. The interrupt status is a single register and is common for all PFs. The first PF reading the register is not necessarily the one who overflowed. All PFs must check their overflow status on every attention. In this change we clear the sticky indication in the attention handler to allow doorbells to be processed again as soon as possible, but running the doorbell recovery is scheduled for the periodic handler to reduce the time spent in the attention handler. Checking the need for DORQ flush was changed to "db_bar_no_edpm" because qed_edpm_enabled()'s result could change dynamically and might have prevented a needed flush.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
