ice: reduce time to read Option ROM CIVD data

During probe and device reset, the ice driver reads some data from the
NVM image as part of ice_init_nvm. Part of this data includes a section
of the Option ROM which contains version information.

The function ice_get_orom_civd_data is used to locate the '$CIV' data
section of the Option ROM.

Timing of ice_probe and ice_rebuild indicate that the
ice_get_orom_civd_data function takes about 10 seconds to finish
executing.

The function locates the section by scanning the Option ROM every 512
bytes. This requires a significant number of NVM read accesses, since
the Option ROM bank is 500KB. In the worst case it would take about 1000
reads. Worse, all PFs serialize this operation during reload because of
acquiring the NVM semaphore.

The CIVD section is located at the end of the Option ROM image data.
Unfortunately, the driver has no easy method to determine the offset
manually. Practical experiments have shown that the data could be at
a variety of locations, so simply reversing the scanning order is not
sufficient to reduce the overall read time.

Instead, copy the entire contents of the Option ROM into memory. This
allows reading the data using 4Kb pages instead of 512 bytes at a time.
This reduces the total number of firmware commands by a factor of 8. In
addition, reading the whole section together at once allows better
indication to firmware of when we're "done".

Re-write ice_get_orom_civd_data to allocate virtual memory to store the
Option ROM data. Copy the entire OptionROM contents at once using
ice_read_flash_module. Finally, use this memory copy to scan for the
'$CIV' section.

This change significantly reduces the time to read the Option ROM CIVD
section from ~10 seconds down to ~1 second. This has a significant
impact on the total time to complete a driver rebuild or probe.
