i40e: Add a SW workaround for lost interrupts
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547674
This patch adds a workaround for cases where we might have
interrupts that got lost but WB happened.
If that happens without this patch we will see a tx_timeout.
To work around it, this patch goes ahead and reschedules NAPI
in that situation, if NAPI is not already scheduled.
We also add a counter in ethtool to keep track of when
we detect a case of tx_lost_interrupt.
Note: napi_reschedule() can be safely called from process/service_task
context and is done in other drivers as well without an issue.
