i40e: refactor macro INTRL_USEC_TO_REG
This patch refactors the macro INTRL_USEC_TO_REG into a static inline
function and fixes a couple subtle bugs caused by the macro.
This patch fixes a bug which was caused by passing a bad register value
to the firmware. If enabling interrupt rate limiting, a non-zero value
for the rate limit must be used. Otherwise the firmware sets the
interrupt rate limit to the maximum value. Due to the limited
resolution of the register, attempting to set a value of 1, 2, or 3
would be rounded down to 0 and limiting was left enabled, causing
unexpected behavior.
This patch also fixes a possible bug in which using the macro itself can
introduce unintended side-affects because the macro argument is used
more than once in the macro definition (e.g. a variable post-increment
argument would perform a double increment on the variable).
Without this patch, attempting to set interrupt rate limits of 1, 2, or
3 results in unexpected behavior and future use of this macro could
cause subtle bugs.
