Today, there are no means to know which port of a hardware device a netdev
interface uses. This patch adds a new field to struct net_device that is used
to store this value. The network driver should use the SET_NETDEV_PORT_NUM()
macro to set the port number for the device it manages. For drivers that do not
set a value, a default value of 1 is set at alloc_netdev_mq().
This patch also makes use of this feature in the mlx4_en driver.
