sfc: limit ARFS workitems in flight per channel
A misconfigured system (e.g. with all interrupts affinitised to all CPUs)
may produce a storm of ARFS steering events. With the existing sfc ARFS
implementation, that could create a backlog of workitems that grinds the
system to a halt. To prevent this, limit the number of workitems that
may be in flight for a given SFC device to 8 (EFX_RPS_MAX_IN_FLIGHT), and
return EBUSY from our ndo_rx_flow_steer method if the limit is reached.
Given this limit, also store the workitems in an array of slots within the
struct efx_nic, rather than dynamically allocating for each request.
The limit should not negatively impact performance, because it is only
likely to be hit in cases where ARFS will be ineffective anyway.
