The list of mbufs held by the driver on Tx was allocated in chunks
(a hold-over from the enic kernel mode driver). The structure used
next pointers across chunks which led to cache misses.
Allocate the array used to hold mbufs in flight on Tx with
rte_zmalloc_socket(). Remove unnecessary fields from the structure
and use head and tail pointers instead of next pointers.

Functions existed which were never called. Removed them. Also
rename the 'pmd' from the name of the Tx function to improve clarity.

When the enic was disabled, link notification was correctly disabled
in the NIC but the software indicator that it was disabled was not
updated (vdev->notify_pa not set to 0). When the link came back up,
enic did not re-enable notification in the NIC.
This affected bonding when a enic slave device link bounced.
The fix is to unconditionally enable notification when the enic is
enabled.

The last packet of the tx burst function array was not being
emitted until the subsequent call. The nic descriptor index
was being set to the current tx descriptor instead of one past
the descriptor as required by the nic.

This is a wholesale replacement of the Enic PMD receive path in order
to improve performance and code clarity. The changes are:
- Simplify and reduce code path length of receive function.
- Put most of the fast-path receive functions in one file.
- Reduce the number of posted_index updates (pay attention to
rx_free_thresh)
- Remove the unneeded container structure around the RQ mbuf ring
- Prefetch next Mbuf and descriptors while processing the current one
- Use a lookup table for converting CQ flags to mbuf flags.

For every packet sent, a completion was being requested and the
posted_index register on the nic was being updated. Instead, request a
completion and update the posted index once per burst after all
packets have been sent by the burst function.
