For VF hosted by Intel 700 series NICs, internal Rx interrupt and adminq
interrupt share the same source, that cause a lot CPU cycles be wasted on
interrupt handler on Rx path.
The patch disable PCI interrupt and remove the interrupt handler, replace
it with a low frequency(50ms) interrupt polling daemon which is
implemented by registering an alarm callback periodically.
The virtual channel capability bit VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_WB_ON_ITR can be
used to negotiate if iavf PMD needs to enable background alarm or not, so
ideally this change will not impact the case hosted by Intel 800 series
NICS.
This patch implements the same logic with an early i40e commit:
commit 864a800d706d ("net/i40e: remove VF interrupt handler")
