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

I see. This assumes that the napi handler will always be called on
conversion from napi to no-napi mode.
That is safe to assume because if it isn't called (and will not call
netif_tx_wake_queue) that implies that napi was not scheduled, and
thus the tx interrupt was not suppressed and thus there was no tx
completion work to be scheduled?
If it isn't called it means skb_xmit_done() wakeup tx directly instead
of schedule tx. This could be a little bit early since there may be
still lots of pending tx packets. But it doesn't harm, start_xmit() can
handle this by re enable a delayed tx interrupt and disable TX.
But there's a bug, look like I need remove the check of
(!sq->napi.weight) in the beginning of the function.
