sfc: Add option to use a separate channel for TX completions

In a bidirectional forwarding test, we find that the best performance
is achieved by sending the TX completion interrupts from one NIC to a
CPU which shares an L2 cache with RX completion interrupts from the
other NIC.  To facilitate this, add an option (through a module
parameter) to create separate channels for RX and TX completion with
separate IRQs when MSI-X is available.
