sfc: add MCDI tracing

This patchset adds support for logging MCDI (Management-Controller-to-
 Driver Interface) interactions between the sfc driver and a bound device,
 to aid in debugging.
Solarflare has a tool to decode the resulting traces and will look to
 open-source this if there is any external interest, but the protocol is
 already detailed in drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/mcdi_pcol.h.
The logging buffer we allocate per MCDI context is a work area for
 constructing each individual message before logging it with netif_info.
The reason the buffer is long-lived is simply to avoid the overhead of
 allocating and freeing it every MCDI call, since MCDIs are already known
 to be serialised for other reasons.
