There are multiple functions mlx5{e,i}_*_fetch_wqe that contain the same
code, that is repeated, because they operate on different SQ struct
types. mlx5e_sq_fetch_wqe also returns void *, instead of the concrete
WQE type.
This commit generalizes the fetch WQE operation by putting this code
into a single function. To simplify calls of the generic function in
concrete use cases, macros are provided that substitute the right WQE
size and cast the return type.
Before this patch, fetch_wqe used to calculate pi itself, but the value
was often known to the caller. This calculation is moved outside to
eliminate this unnecessary step and prepare for the fill_frag_edge
refactoring in the next patch.

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.
