Allocate and initialize struct ice_adapter object only once per physical card instead of once per port. This is not a big deal by now, but we want to extend this struct more and more in the near future. Our plans include PTP stuff and a devlink instance representing whole-device/physical card. Transactions requiring to be sleep-able (like those doing user (here ice) memory allocation) must be performed with an additional (on top of xarray) mutex. Adding it here removes need to xa_lock() manually. Since this commit is a reimplementation of ice_adapter_get(), a rather new scoped_guard() wrapper for locking is used to simplify the logic. It's worth to mention that xa_insert() use gives us both slot reservation and checks if it is already filled, what simplifies code a tiny bit.

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 reStructuredText 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.
