net/mlx5e: Prepare for using different CQ doorbells

Completion queues (CQs) in mlx5 use the same global doorbell, which may
become contended when accessed concurrently from many cores.

This patch prepares the CQ management code for supporting different
doorbells per CQ. This will be used in downstream patches to allow
separate doorbells to be used by channels CQs.

The main change is moving the 'uar' pointer from struct mlx5_core_cq to
struct mlx5e_cq, as the uar page to be used is better off stored
directly there. Other users of mlx5_core_cq also store the UAR to be
used separately and therefore the pointer being removed is dead weight
for them. As evidence, in this patch there are two users which set the
mcq.uar pointer but didn't use it, Software Steering and old Innova CQ
creation code. Instead, they rang the doorbell directly from another
pointer.

The 'uar' pointer added to struct mlx5e_cq remains in a hot cacheline
(as before), because it may get accessed for each packet.
