net: hns3: Changes to support ARQ(Asynchronous Receive Queue)
Current mailbox CRQ could consists of both synchronous and async responses from the PF. Synchronous responses are time critical and should be handed over to the waiting tasks/context as quickly as possible otherwise timeout occurs. Above problem gets accentuated if CRQ consists of even single async message. Hence, it is important to have quick handling of synchronous messages and maybe deferred handling of async messages This patch introduces separate ARQ(async receive queues) for the async messages. These messages are processed later with repsect to mailbox task while synchronous messages still gets processed in context to mailbox interrupt. ARQ is important as VF reset introduces some new async messages like MBX_ASSERTING_RESET which adds up to the presssure on the responses for synchronousmessages and they timeout even more quickly.
