The PF driver assumes the VF will not send another mailbox message until
the PF has written its reply to the previous message. If the VF does,
that message will be silently dropped by the PF before it writes its
reply to the mailbox. This results in a VF mailbox timeout for posted
messages waiting for an ACK, and the VF is reset by the
igbvf_watchdog_task in the VM.
Add a lock around the VF mailbox ops to prevent the VF from sending
another message while the PF is still processing the previous one.

The driver shouldn't just give up if it fails to get the hardware
mailbox lock. This can happen in a situation where the PF-VF
communication channel is heavily loaded and causes complete
communications failure between the PF and VF drivers.
Add a counter and a delay. The driver will now retry ten times, waiting
one millisecond between retries.

Fix the code comments to align with the drivers/net/ commenting style.
Also fix other checkpatch errors such as using tabs where possible and
properly wrap lines to conform to the 80 char limit (unless it is
a string).

Fix up conflicts in:
- drivers/net/Kconfig:
The split-up generated a trivial conflict with removal of a
stale reference to Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt.
Remove it from the new location instead.
- fs/sysfs/dir.c:
Fairly nasty conflicts with the sysfs rb-tree usage, conflicting
with Eric Biederman's changes for tagged directories.
Moves the Intel wired LAN drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ and
the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
