mainlining shenanigans

mlx5e netdev Blue Flame (write combining) support demands a lot of overhead for a little latency gain for some special cases, this overhead is hurting the common case. Here we remove xmit Blue Flame support by creating all bfregs with no write combining for all SQs, and we remove a lot of BF logic and conditions from xmit data path. Simplify mlx5e_tx_notify_hw (doorbell function) by removing BF related code and by removing one memory barrier needed for WC mapped SQ doorbell buffers, which no longer exist.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
