These functions share a significant amount of code and require extra
internal objects to parse and build flow rule handles.
All this can be simplified by relying directly on the internal rte_flow
structure definition, whose QP pointer (destination Verbs queue) is
replaced by a DPDK queue ID and other properties, making it more versatile
without increasing its size (at least on 64-bit platforms).
This commit also gets rid of a few unnecessary debugging messages.

These wrappers implement the ability to allocate room for several disparate
objects as a single contiguous allocation while complying with their
respective alignment constraints.
This is usually more efficient than allocating and freeing them
individually if they are not expected to be reallocated with rte_realloc().
A typical use case is when several objects that cannot be dissociated must
be allocated together, as shown in the following example:
struct b {
...
struct d *d;
}
struct a {
...
struct b *b;
struct c *c;
}
struct mlx4_malloc_vec vec[] = {
{ .size = sizeof(struct a), .addr = &ptr_a, },
{ .size = sizeof(struct b), .addr = &ptr_b, },
{ .size = sizeof(struct c), .addr = &ptr_c, },
{ .size = sizeof(struct d), .addr = &ptr_d, },
};
if (!mlx4_mallocv(NULL, vec, RTE_DIM(vec)))
goto error;
struct a *a = ptr_a;
a->b = ptr_b;
a->c = ptr_c;
a->b->d = ptr_d;
...
rte_free(a);

Relying on rte_errno is not necessary where the return value of
rte_flow_error_set() can be used directly.
A related minor change is switching from RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_HANDLE to
RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED when no rte_flow handle is involved in the
error, specifically when none is allocated yet.

In several instances, "items" refers either to a flow pattern or a single
item, and "actions" either to the entire list of actions or only one of
them.
The fact the target of a rule (struct mlx4_flow_action) is also named
"action" and item-processing objects (struct mlx4_flow_items) as "cur_item"
("token" in one instance) contributes to the confusion.
Use this opportunity to clarify related comments and remove the unused
valid_actions[] global, whose sole purpose is to be referred by
item-processing objects as "actions".

The stats_get dev op API doesn't include return value, so PMD cannot
return an error in case of failure at stats getting process time.
Since PCI devices can be removed and there is a time between the
physical removal to the RMV interrupt, the user may get invalid stats
without any indication.
This patch changes the stats_get API return value to be int instead of
void.

Link status is sometimes inconsistent during a LSC event. When it occurs,
the PMD refrains from immediately notifying the application; instead, an
alarm is scheduled to check link status later and notify the application
once it has settled.
The problem is that subsequent link status checks are only performed if
additional LSC events occur in the meantime, which is not always the case.
Worse, since support for removal events was added, rescheduled link status
checks may consume them as well without notifying the application. With the
right timing, a link loss occurring just before a device removal event may
hide it from the application.

Allocation and management of Tx/Rx queue arrays is done by wrappers at the
ethdev level. The resulting information is copied to the private structure
while configuring the device, where it is managed separately by the PMD.
This is redundant and consumes space in the private structure.
Relying more on ethdev also means there is no need to protect the PMD
against burst function calls while closing the device anymore.

Link status (LSC) and removal (RMV) interrupts share a common handler and
are toggled simultaneously from common install/uninstall functions.
Four additional wrapper functions (two for each interrupt type) are
currently necessary because the PMD maintains an internal configuration
state for interrupts (priv->intr_conf).
This complexity can be avoided entirely since the PMD does not disable
interrupts configuration parameters in case of error anymore.
With this commit, only two functions are necessary to toggle interrupts
(including Rx) during start/stop cycles.

The naming scheme for these functions is overly verbose and not accurate
enough, with too many "handler" functions that are difficult to
differentiate (e.g. mlx4_dev_link_status_handler(),
mlx4_dev_interrupt_handler() and priv_dev_status_handler()).
This commit renames them and removes the unnecessary dev argument which can
be retrieved through the private structure where needed. Documentation is

File descriptors used for interrupts processing must be made non-blocking.

The reason one interrupt handle is currently used for RMV/LSC events and
another one for Rx traffic is because these come from distinct file
descriptors.
This can be simplified however as Rx interrupt file descriptors are stored
elsewhere and are registered separately.
Modifying the interrupt handle type to RTE_INTR_HANDLE_UNKNOWN has never
been necessary as disabling interrupts is actually done by unregistering
the associated callback (RMV/LSC) or emptying the EFD array (Rx). Instead,
make clear that the base handle file descriptor is invalid by setting it to
-1 when disabled.

Due to its reliance on system calls, the mlx4 PMD uses positive errno
values internally and negative ones at the ethdev API border. Although most
internal functions are documented, this mixed design is unusual and prone

exclusively).
Standardize on negative errno values and rely on rte_errno instead of
errno in all functions.
