From: Vadim Lomovtsev <Vadim.Lomovtsev at cavium.com>
The kernel calls ndo_set_rx_mode() callback from atomic context which
causes messaging timeouts between VF and PF (as they’re implemented
via MSIx). So in order to handle ndo_set_rx_mode() we need to get rid of it.
This commit implements necessary workqueue related structures to let VF
queue kernel request processing in non-atomic context later.
