Subject: [PATCH net-next V2] virtio_net: ethtool tx napi configuration

Implement ethtool .set_coalesce (-C) and .get_coalesce (-c) handlers.
Interrupt moderation is currently not supported, so these accept and
display the default settings of 0 usec and 1 frame.

Toggle tx napi through a bit in tx-frames. So as to not interfere
with possible future interrupt moderation, value 1 means tx napi while
value 0 means not.

To properly synchronize with the data path, tx napi is disabled and
tx lock is held when changing the value of napi weight. And two more
places that can access tx napi weight:

- speculative tx polling in rx napi, we can leave it as is since it
  not a must for correctness.
- skb_xmit_done(), one more check of napi weight is added before
  trying to enable tx to avoid tx to be disabled forever if napi is
  disabled after skb_xmit_done() but before the napi

Changes from V1:
- try to synchronize with datapath to allow changing mode when
  interface is up.
- use tx-frames 0 as to disable tx napi while tx-frames 1 to enable tx napi
