> The .back field placed in i40e_hw is used to get pointer to i40e_pf
> instance but it is not necessary as the i40e_hw is a part of i40e_pf
> and containerof macro can be used to obtain the pointer to i40e_pf.
> Remove .back field from i40e_hw structure, introduce i40e_hw_to_pf()
> and i40e_hw_to_dev() helpers and use them.
