[v3,net] net: mana: Fix doorbell out of order violation and avoid unnecessary doorbell rings

After napi_complete_done() is called when NAPI is polling in the current
process context, another NAPI may be scheduled and start running in
softirq on another CPU and may ring the doorbell before the current CPU
does. When combined with unnecessary rings when there is no need to arm
the CQ, it triggers error paths in the hardware.

This patch fixes this by calling napi_complete_done() after doorbell
rings. It limits the number of unnecessary rings when there is
no need to arm. MANA hardware specifies that there must be one doorbell
ring every 8 CQ wraparounds. This driver guarantees one doorbell ring as
soon as the number of consumed CQEs exceeds 4 CQ wraparounds. In practical
workloads, the 4 CQ wraparounds proves to be big enough that it rarely
exceeds this limit before all the napi weight is consumed.

To implement this, add a per-CQ counter cq->work_done_since_doorbell,
and make sure the CQ is armed as soon as passing 4 wraparounds of the CQ.
