i40e: fix panic on SPARC while changing num of desc

On SPARC, writel() should not be used to write directly to memory
address but only to memory mapped I/O address otherwise it causes
data access exception.

Commit 147e81ec75689 ("i40e: Test memory before ethtool alloc
succeeds") introduced a code that uses memory address to fake the HW
tail address and attempt to write to that address using writel()
causes kernel panic on SPARC. The issue is reproduced while changing
number of descriptors using ethtool.

This change resolves the panic by using HW read-only memory mapped
I/O register to fake HW tail address instead memory address.

e.g.
> ethtool -G eth2 tx 2048 rx 2048
i40e 0000:03:00.2 eth2: Changing Tx descriptor count from 512 to 2048.
i40e 0000:03:00.2 eth2: Changing Rx descriptor count from 512 to 2048
