Subject: [PATCH net-next V4 5/5] net/mlx5e: Set default burst period for TX and RX reporters

From: Shahar Shitrit <shshitrit@...dia.com>

System errors can sometimes cause multiple errors to be reported
to the TX reporter at the same time. For instance, lost interrupts
may cause several SQs to time out simultaneously. When dev_watchdog
notifies the driver for that, it iterates over all SQs to trigger
recovery for the timed-out ones, via TX health reporter.
However, grace period allows only one recovery at a time, so only
the first SQ recovers while others remain blocked. Since no further
recoveries are allowed during the grace period, subsequent errors
cause the reporter to enter an ERROR state, requiring manual
intervention.

To address this, set the TX reporter's default burst period
to 0.5 second. This allows the reporter to detect and handle all
timed-out SQs within this window before initiating the grace period.

To account for the possibility of a similar issue in the RX reporter,
its default burst period is also configured.

Additionally, while here, align the TX definition prefix with the RX,
as these are used only in EN driver.
