Since the tagged commit, ice stopped respecting Rx buffer length
passed from VFs.
At that point, the buffer length was hardcoded in ice, so VFs still
worked up to some point (until, for example, a VF wanted an MTU
larger than its PF).
The next commit 93f53db9f9dc ("ice: switch to Page Pool"), broke
Rx on VFs completely since ice started accounting per-queue buffer
lengths again, but now VF queues always had their length zeroed, as
ice was already ignoring what iavf was passing to it.
Restore the line that initializes the buffer length on VF queues
basing on the virtchnl messages.

As part of the transition toward Page Pool integration, remove the
legacy page splitting and recycling logic from the ice driver. This
mirrors the approach taken in commit 920d86f3c552 ("iavf: drop page
splitting and recycling").
The previous model attempted to reuse partially consumed pages by
splitting them and tracking their usage across descriptors. While
this was once a memory optimization, it introduced significant
complexity and overhead in the Rx path, including:
- Manual refcount management and page reuse heuristics;
- Per-descriptor buffer shuffling, which could involve moving dozens
of `ice_rx_buf` structures per NAPI cycle;
- Increased branching and cache pressure in the hotpath.
This change simplifies the Rx logic by always allocating fresh pages
and letting the networking stack handle their lifecycle. Although this
may temporarily reduce performance (up to ~98% in some XDP cases), it
greatly improves maintainability and paves the way for Page Pool,
which will restore and exceed previous performance levels.
The `ice_rx_buf` array is retained for now to minimize diffstat and
ease future replacement with a shared buffer abstraction.

Moving the code to handle the LAG part of a VF reset to helper
functions deprecated the function ice_lag_move_new_vf_nodes().
The cleanup missed a call to this function in the error path of
ice_vc_cfg_qs_msg().
In the case that would end in the error path, a NULL pointer would
be encountered due to the empty list of netdevs for members of the
aggregate.
Remove the unnecessary call to ice_lag_move_new_vf_nodes(), and since
this is the only call to this function, remove the function as well.
Fixes: 351d8d8ab6af ("ice: breakout common LAG code into helpers")

E830 supports Earliest TxTime First (ETF) hardware offload, which is
configured via the ETF Qdisc on a per-queue basis (see tc-etf(8)). ETF
introduces a new Tx flow mechanism that utilizes a timestamp ring
(tstamp_ring) alongside the standard Tx ring. This timestamp ring is
used to indicate when hardware will transmit a packet. Tx Time is
supported on the first 2048 Tx queues of the device, and the NVM image
limits the maximum number of Tx queues to 2048 for the device.
The allocation and initialization of the timestamp ring occur when the
feature is enabled on a specific Tx queue via tc-etf. The requested Tx
Time queue index cannot be greater than the number of Tx queues
(vsi->num_txq).
To support ETF, the following flags and bitmap are introduced:
- ICE_F_TXTIME: Device feature flag set for E830 NICs, indicating ETF
support.
- txtime_txqs: PF-level bitmap set when ETF is enabled and cleared
when disabled for a specific Tx queue. It is used by
ice_is_txtime_ena() to check if ETF is allocated and configured on
any Tx queue, which is checked during Tx ring allocation.
- ICE_TX_FLAGS_TXTIME: Per Tx ring flag set when ETF is allocated and
configured for a specific Tx queue. It determines ETF status during
packet transmission and is checked by ice_is_txtime_ena() to verify
if ETF is enabled on any Tx queue.
Due to a hardware issue that can result in a malicious driver detection
event, additional timestamp descriptors are required when wrapping
around the timestamp ring. Up to 64 additional timestamp descriptors
are reserved, reducing the available Tx descriptors.
To accommodate this, ICE_MAX_NUM_DESC_BY_MAC is introduced, defining:
- E830: Maximum Tx descriptor count of 8096 (8K - 32 - 64 for timestamp
fetch descriptors).
- E810 and E82X: Maximum Tx descriptor count of 8160 (8K - 32).

Move queue configuration functions out of virtchnl.c to queues.c.
Technically the move was started by an earlier commit of the series,
that was duplicating virtchnl.c as queues.c (what forces git to nicely
show blame when asked), followed by a couple of cleanup commits (that
removed stuff that is not moved from the new file, again - multiple
commits, to avoid git saving on changes lines by reusing removed lines
as a content of some kept function), with this final commit actually
enabling compilation of the new file, removing stuff from the virtchnl.c,
and making some moved functions visible (via static keyword removal).
