Improve reliability of the mailbox communication and remove
its potential flaws that may lead to the undefined or faulty behavior.
Recently some users reported issues on ESX with 10G Intel NICs which were
found to be caused by incorrect implementation of the PF-VF mailbox
communication.
Technical investigation highlighted areas to improve in the communication
between PF or VF that wants to send the message (sender) and the other
part which receives the message (receiver):
- Locking the mailbox when the sender wants to send a message
- Releasing the mailbox when the communication ends
- Returning the result of the mailbox message execution

Add legacy suffix to mailbox functions which should be backwards compatible
with older PF drivers. Communication during API negotiation always has to
be done using the earlier implementation.

Add new handling for error codes:
IXGBE_ERR_CONFIG - ixgbe_mbx_operations is not correctly set
IXGBE_ERR_TIMEOUT - mailbox operation, e.g. poll for message, timeout

After many years of having a ~30 line copyright and license header to our
source files, we are finally able to reduce that to one line with the
advent of the SPDX identifier.
Also caught a few files missing the SPDX license identifier, so fixed
them up.

Now ixgbevf_write/read_posted_mbx use -IXGBE_ERR_MBX as the initiative
return value, but it's incorrect, cause in ixgbevf_vlan_rx_add_vid(),
it use err == IXGBE_ERR_MBX, the err returned from mac.ops.set_vfta,
and in ixgbevf_set_vfta_vf, it return from write/read_posted. so we
should initialize err with IXGBE_ERR_MBX, instead of -IXGBE_ERR_MBX.
With this fix, the other functions that called it also can work well,
cause they only care about if err is 0 or not.

On Hyper-V, the VF/PF communication is a via software mediated path
as opposed to the hardware mailbox. Make the necessary
adjustments to support Hyper-V.

Fix the code comments to align with drivers/net/ code commenting style,
as well as whitespace issues. The whitespace issues resolve checkpatch
errors, like lines exceeding 80 chars (except for strings) and the use
of tabs where possible.

The VF driver was not designed to correctly handle a message timeout. As
a result it is possible for one bad message to invalidate all messages
following it until the part is reset. Instead we should copy the example
in igbvf of how to handle a mailbox event and message timeout.

Fix up conflicts in:
- drivers/net/Kconfig:
The split-up generated a trivial conflict with removal of a
stale reference to Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt.
Remove it from the new location instead.
- fs/sysfs/dir.c:
Fairly nasty conflicts with the sysfs rb-tree usage, conflicting
with Eric Biederman's changes for tagged directories.
Moves the Intel wired LAN drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ and
the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
