drivers/net: use device name from device structure

Device name resides in two different locations, in rte_device->name and
in ethernet device private data.

For now, the copy in the ethernet device private data is required for
multi process support, the name is the how secondary process finds about
primary process device.

But for drivers there is no reason to use the copy in the ethernet
device private data.

This patch updates PMDs to use only rte_device->name.

net/bnxt: handle VF/PF initialization appropriately

1) For a VF, query the firmware to determine if a MAC address is
already configured. If not configure a random default MAC address.

2) Do not initialize the default completion ring in
bnxt_alloc_hwrm_rings().

3) While registering for async events with the firmware,
use func_vf_cfg for a VF and use func_cfg for a PF.

4) Query the VNIC plcmode config using the bnxt_hwrm_vnic_plcmodes_qcfg
before a VNIC is updated. Reconfigure the VNIC with the plcmode
configuration queried earlier. Not doing this could overwrite
the plcmodes in some cases.

5) Reorg the bnxt_handle_fwd_req to properly handle the forwarded
requests. The previous code did not handle it completely.
