bng_en: Add support for TPA events

This commit enables TPA (Transport Protocol Aggregation) functionality
in the VNIC and adds functions to handle TPA events for LRO/GRO
processing.

                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The agg_arr is allocated with MAX_SKB_FRAGS entries, but there is no
bounds check before writing to it. The bnxt driver has a BUG_ON guard
at this location:

    BUG_ON(tpa_info->agg_count >= MAX_SKB_FRAGS);

Is there a reason this check was omitted? While the check in
bnge_tpa_end() catches agg_bufs > MAX_SKB_FRAGS, that happens after
the aggregation completions have already been stored. If hardware
misbehaves and sends more aggregation completions than expected, could
this overflow agg_arr[]?
