net/mlx5: Reimplement write combining test

The test of write combining was added before in mlx5_ib driver. It
opens UD QP and posts NOP WQEs, and uses BlueFlame doorbell. When
BlueFlame is used, WQEs get written directly to a PCI BAR of the
device (in addition to memory) so that the device handles them without
having to access memory.

In this test, the WQEs written in memory are different from the ones
written to the BlueFlame which request CQE update. By checking the
completion reports posted on CQ, we can know if BlueFlame succeeds or
not. The write combining must be supported if BlueFlame succeeds as
its register is written using write combining.

This patch reimplements the test in the same way, but using a pair of
SQ and CQ only. It is moved to mlx5_core as a general feature used by
both mlx5_core and mlx5_ib.

Besides, save write combine test result of the PCI function, so that
its thousands of child functions such as SF can query without paying
the time and resource penalty by itself. The test function is called
only after failing to get the cached result. With this enhancement,
all thousands of SFs of the PF attached to same driver no longer need
to perform WC check explicitly, which is already done in the system.
This saves several commands per SF, thereby speeds up SF creation and
also saves completion EQ creation.
