[v2,0/3] Introduce event link profiles

  From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

A collection of event queues linked to an event port can be associated
with unique identifier called as a profile, multiple such profiles can
be configured based on the event device capability using the function
`rte_event_port_profile_links_set` which takes arguments similar to
`rte_event_port_link` in addition to the profile identifier.

The maximum link profiles that are supported by an event device is
advertised through the structure member
`rte_event_dev_info::max_profiles_per_port`.

By default, event ports are configured to use the link profile 0 on
initialization.

Once multiple link profiles are set up and the event device is started, the
application can use the function `rte_event_port_profile_switch` to change
the currently active profile on an event port. This effects the next
`rte_event_dequeue_burst` call, where the event queues associated with the
newly active link profile will participate in scheduling.

Rudementary work flow would something like:

Config path:

    uint8_t lowQ[4] = {4, 5, 6, 7};
    uint8_t highQ[4] = {0, 1, 2, 3};

    if (rte_event_dev_info.max_profiles_per_port < 2)
        return -ENOTSUP;

    rte_event_port_profile_links_set(0, 0, highQ, NULL, 4, 0);
    rte_event_port_profile_links_set(0, 0, lowQ, NULL, 4, 1);

Worker path:

    empty_high_deq = 0;
    empty_low_deq = 0;
    is_low_deq = 0;
    while (1) {
        deq = rte_event_dequeue_burst(0, 0, &ev, 1, 0);
        if (deq == 0) {
            /**
             * Change link profile based on work activity on current
             * active profile
             */
            if (is_low_deq) {
                empty_low_deq++;
                if (empty_low_deq == MAX_LOW_RETRY) {
                    rte_event_port_profile_switch(0, 0, 0);
                    is_low_deq = 0;
                    empty_low_deq = 0;
                }
                continue;
            }

            if (empty_high_deq == MAX_HIGH_RETRY) {
                rte_event_port_profile_switch(0, 0, 1);
                is_low_deq = 1;
                empty_high_deq = 0;
            }
            continue;
        }

        // Process the event received.

        if (is_low_deq++ == MAX_LOW_EVENTS) {
            rte_event_port_profile_switch(0, 0, 0);
            is_low_deq = 0;
        }
    }

An application could use heuristic data of load/activity of a given event
port and change its active profile to adapt to the traffic pattern.

An unlink function `rte_event_port_profile_unlink` is provided to
modify the links associated to a profile, and
`rte_event_port_profile_links_get` can be used to retrieve the links
associated with a profile.

Using Link profiles can reduce the overhead of linking/unlinking and
waiting for unlinks in progress in fast-path and gives applications
the ability to switch between preset profiles on the fly.

v2 Changes:
----------
- Fix compilation.
