i40e: KISS the client interface

(KISS is Keep It Simple, Stupid. Or is it?)

The client interface vastly overengineered for what it needs to do.
It was originally designed to support multiple clients on multiple
netdevs, possibly even with multiple drivers. None of this happened,
and now we know that there will only ever be one client for i40e
(i40iw) and one for i40evf (i40iwvf). So, time for some KISS. Since
i40e and i40evf are a Dynasty, we'll simplify this one to match the
VF interface.

First, be a Destroyer and remove all of the lists and locks required
to support multiple clients. Keep one static around to keep track of
one client, and track the client instances for each netdev in the
driver's pf (or adapter) struct. Now it's Almost Human.

Since we already know the client type is iWarp, get rid of any checks
for this. Same for VSI type - it's always going to be the same type,
so it's just a Parasite.

While we're at it, fix up some comments. This makes the function
headers actually match the functions.

These changes reduce code complexity, simplify maintenance,
squash some lurking timing bugs, and allow us to Rock and Roll All
Nite.
