Currently, the rte_flow functions are not defined as thread safe.
DPDK applications either call the functions in single thread or
protect any concurrent calling for the rte_flow operations using
a lock.
For PMDs support the flow operations thread safe natively, the
redundant protection in application hurts the performance of the
rte_flow operation functions.
And the restriction of thread safe is not guaranteed for the
rte_flow functions also limits the applications' expectation.
This feature is going to change the rte_flow functions to be thread
safe. As different PMDs have different flow operations, some may
support thread safe already and others may not. For PMDs don't
support flow thread safe operation, a new lock is defined in ethdev
in order to protects thread unsafe PMDs from rte_flow level.
A new RTE_ETH_DEV_FLOW_OPS_THREAD_SAFE device flag is added to
determine whether the PMD supports thread safe flow operation or not.
For PMDs support thread safe flow operations, set the
RTE_ETH_DEV_FLOW_OPS_THREAD_SAFE flag, rte_flow level functions will
skip the thread safe helper lock for these PMDs. Again the rte_flow
level thread safe lock only works when PMD operation functions are
not thread safe.
For the PMDs which don't want the default mutex lock, just set the
flag in the PMD, and add the prefer type of lock in the PMD. Then
the default mutex lock is easily replaced by the PMD level lock.
The change has no effect on the current DPDK applications. No change
is required for the current DPDK applications. For the standard posix
pthread_mutex, if no lock contention with the added rte_flow level
mutex, the mutex only does the atomic increasing in
pthread_mutex_lock() and decreasing in
pthread_mutex_unlock(). No futex() syscall will be involved.

This patch is a preparation to hide the 'struct eth_dev_ops' from
applications by moving some device operations from 'struct eth_dev_ops'
to 'struct rte_eth_dev'.
Mentioned ethdev APIs are in the data path and implemented as inline
because of performance reasons.
Exposing 'struct eth_dev_ops' to applications is bad because it is a
contract between ethdev and PMDs, not really needs to be known by
applications, also changes in the struct causing ABI breakages which
shouldn't.
To be able to both keep APIs inline and hide the 'struct eth_dev_ops',
moving device operations used in ethdev inline APIs to 'struct
rte_eth_dev' to the same level with Rx/Tx burst functions.
The list of dev_ops moved:
eth_rx_queue_count_t rx_queue_count;
eth_rx_descriptor_done_t rx_descriptor_done;
eth_rx_descriptor_status_t rx_descriptor_status;
eth_tx_descriptor_status_t tx_descriptor_status;

If a function is added to the eth_dev_ops struct before
tx_descriptor_status function, this will cause ABI breakage. This is due
to static inline functions using this function, and some other functions
above it in the struct, so they cannot change position. A comment is
added to inform developers of this possible breakage.

In order to allow smooth addition of features without breaking
ABI compatibility, some space is reserved in several core structs
of ethdev API.
The struct rte_eth_dev and rte_eth_dev_data are supposed
to be used internally only, but there is a chance that
increasing their size would break ABI for some applications.

Add `rte_eth_dev_set_ptypes` function that will allow the application
to inform the PMD about reduced range of packet types to handle.
Based on the ptypes set PMDs can optimize their Rx path.
-If application doesn’t want any ptype information it can call
`rte_eth_dev_set_ptypes(ethdev_id, RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN, NULL, 0)`
and PMD may skip packet type processing and set rte_mbuf::packet_type to
RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN.
-If application doesn’t call `rte_eth_dev_set_ptypes` PMD can return
`rte_mbuf::packet_type` with `rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes`.
-If application is interested only in L2/L3 layer, it can inform the PMD
to update `rte_mbuf::packet_type` with L2/L3 ptype by calling
`rte_eth_dev_set_ptypes(ethdev_id,
RTE_PTYPE_L2_MASK | RTE_PTYPE_L3_MASK, NULL, 0)`.

This commit introduce hairpin queue type.
The hairpin queue in build from Rx queue binded to Tx queue.
It is used to offload traffic coming from the wire and redirect it back
to the wire.
There are 3 new functions:
- rte_eth_dev_hairpin_capability_get
- rte_eth_rx_hairpin_queue_setup
- rte_eth_tx_hairpin_queue_setup
In order to use the queue, there is a need to create rte_flow
with queue / RSS action that targets one or more of the Rx queues.

Add rte_eth_read_clock to read the raw clock of a device.
The main use is to get the device clock conversion co-efficients to be
able to translate the raw clock of the timestamp field of the pkt mbuf
to a local synced time value.
This function was missing to allow users to convert the Rx timestamp
field to real time without the complexity of the rte_timesync* facility.
One can derivate the clock frequency by calling twice read_clock and
then keep a common time base.
