eth: fbnic: Add protection against pause storm
Add protection against TX pause storms. A pause storm occurs when a
device fails to send received packets up to the stack. When a pause
storm is detected (pause state persists beyond the configured timeout),
the device stops sending the pause frames and begins dropping packets
instead of back-pressuring.
The timeout is configurable via ethtool tunable (pfc-prevention-tout)
with a maximum value of 10485ms, and the default value of 500ms.
Once the device transitions to the storm-detected state, the service
task periodically attempts recovery, returning the device to normal
operation to handle any subsequent pause storm episodes.
