ixgbe: align flow control DV macros with datasheet
The flow control DV macros are used to calculate the flow control high and low thresholds. This patch annotates these macros slightly better and fixes the issues below. The macro variables are renamed LINK to _max_frame_link and TC to _max_frame_tc. This was to avoid confusion and make them more readable. It was found that people auditing the code read TC to be 'traffic class' in the 802.1Q definition instead of the max frame size of the tc. Hopefully it is clear now. This audit also found the following real deviations from the theoretical values. Fixed in this patch. * I multiplied the DV calculations by (36/25) which always evaluates to 1. This does not match the intended theoretical value of 1.44. * IXGBE_BT2KB added 1023 to account for rounding however this really should be 8 * 1023 - 1 to account for division by 8k. * x2 multiplication of max frame in DV calculations to account for updated hardware recommendations. With this patch the DV values are inline with the recommendations in the 82599 and 82598 data sheets. Its worth noting I did not see any dropped frames with flow control on in my experiments without this patch. However aligning with the hardware specs and recommendations seems like a good idea here to account for worst case scenarios.
