ixgbe: Allocate rings as part of the q_vector
This patch makes the rings a part of the q_vector directly instead of indirectly. Specifically on x86 systems this helps to avoid any cache set conflicts between the q_vector, the tx_rings, and the rx_rings as the critical stride is 4K and in order to cross that boundary you would need to have over 15 rings on a single q_vector. In addition this allows for smarter allocations when Flow Director is enabled. Previously Flow Director would set the irq_affinity hints based on the CPU and was still using a node interleaving approach which on some systems would end up with the two values mismatched. With the new approach we can set the affinity for the irq_vector and use the CPU for that affinity to determine the node value for the node and the rings.
