There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.
Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

This change is meant to address several race issues that become possible
because next_to_watch could possibly be set to a value that shows that the
descriptor is done when it is not. In order to correct that we instead make
next_to_watch a pointer that is set to NULL during cleanup, and set to the
eop_desc after the descriptor rings have been written.
To enforce proper ordering the next_to_watch pointer is not set until after
a wmb writing the values to the last descriptor in a transmit. In order to
guarantee that the descriptor is not read until after the eop_desc we use the
read_barrier_depends which is only really necessary on the alpha architecture.

On i350 VF devices, VLAN tags will be byte-swapped in the receive
descriptor only when received packets are looped back from other
VFs. Check for this condition and swab the tag if needed.

The existing ITR code is broken and confusing, with lots of similarly-named
variables that do different things. Additionally, after the driver carefully
determines the optimal interrupt rate for the adapter, it then
ignores it and always writes a fixed, suboptimal value.
This patch refactors that code to make variable names more descriptive of
what they actually do, and then actually writes the calculated result to
the hardware.
Preliminary testing shows that netperf TCP_STREAM tests goes from ~918Mbps
to ~940Mbps, and TCP_RR goes from ~2k transactions/sec up to > 8k.
