Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] net: ipa: don't use lists for transaction state

This is the last series of patches to convert the IPA code so
integer IDs are used rather than lists to track the state of
transactions.

A first series of patches added ID fields to track the state of
transactions:
  https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220831224017.377745-1-elder@linaro.org
The second series started transitioning code to use these IDs rather
than lists to manage state:
  https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220902210218.745873-1-elder@linaro.org

This final series finishes the transition, to always use IDs instead
of the lists to manage transaction state.  As a result, the list
fields, links, and a spinlock to protect updates are no longer
needed, so they are removed.  This permits a few other improvements
to be implemented.
