[PATCH net-next v2 10/13] net: mana: release EQs left idle by a channel-count reduction

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The shared EQ pool only grows, so it sits at the high-water mark of every
channel count the port has ever used. After "ethtool -L ens1 combined 32"
then "combined 4" the port keeps 32 EQs and 32 MSI-X vectors while using
four:

  # ethtool -L ens1 combined 4
  # grep -c mana /proc/interrupts
  33

The pre-swap path recreated every EQ per reconfiguration, so this is new.

Release the EQs above the live queue count once a retiring set has been
torn down. That is the only safe point: a CQ holds the gdma_queue pointer
of its parent EQ, so an EQ may only be destroyed once the set referencing
it is gone.

While here, fix mana_create_eq_debugfs(), which stored the new dentry in
a stack copy rather than in apc->eqs[i].
