The global doorbell is used for more than just Ethernet resources, so move it out of mlx5e_hw_objs into a common place (mlx5_priv), to avoid non-Ethernet modules (e.g. HWS, ASO) depending on Ethernet structs. Use this opportunity to consolidate it with the 'uar' pointer already there, which was used as an RX doorbell. Underneath the 'uar' pointer is identical to 'bfreg->up', so store a single resource and use that instead. For CQ doorbells, care is taken to always use bfreg->up->index instead of bfreg->index, which may refer to a subsequent UAR page from the same ALLOC_UAR batch on some NICs. This paves the way for cleanly supporting multiple doorbells in the Ethernet driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
