net/ionic: add Q-in-CMB option

When 'ionic_cmb' is set to '1', queue memory will be allocated from
the device's onboard memory (Controller Memory Buffer). In some
configurations, this will dramatically reduce packet latency and
increase PPS.

Add the WC_ACTIVATE flag to the PCI driver flags.
Write combining must be enabled to achieve the maximum PPS.

When the queue is in the CMB, descriptors cannot be prefetched.
