> Fields 'head', 'tail', 'len', 'bah' and 'bal' in i40e_adminq_ring
> are used to store register offsets. These offsets are initialized
> and remains constant so there is no need to store them in the
> i40e_adminq_ring structure.
>
> Remove these fields from i40e_adminq_ring and use register offset
> constants instead. Remove i40e_adminq_init_regs() that originally
> stores these constants into these fields.
>
> Finally improve i40e_check_asq_alive() that assumes that
> non-zero value of hw->aq.asq.len indicates fully initialized
> AdminQ send queue. Replace it by check for non-zero value
> of field hw->aq.asq.count that is non-zero when the sending
> queue is initialized and is zeroed during shutdown of
> the queue.
