ethtool: cmis_cdb: Add a layer for supporting CDB commands

CDB (Command Data Block Message Communication) reads and writes are
performed on memory map pages 9Fh-AFh according to the CMIS standard,
section 8.20 of revision 5.2.
Page 9Fh is used to specify the CDB command to be executed and also
provides an area for a local payload (LPL).

According to the CMIS standard, the firmware update process is done using
a CDB commands sequence that will be implemented in the next patch.

The kernel interface that will implement the firmware update using CDB
command will include 2 layers that will be added under ethtool:

* The upper layer that will be triggered from the module layer, is
  cmis_fw_update.
* The lower one is cmis_cdb.

In the future there might be more operations to implement using CDB
commands. Therefore, the idea is to keep the CDB interface clean and the
cmis_fw_update specific to the CDB commands handling it.

These two layers will communicate using the API the consists of three
functions:

- struct ethtool_cmis_cdb *
  ethtool_cmis_cdb_init(struct net_device *dev,
			struct ethtool_module_fw_flash_params *params);
- void ethtool_cmis_cdb_fini(struct ethtool_cmis_cdb *cdb);
- int ethtool_cmis_cdb_execute_cmd(struct net_device *dev,
				   struct ethtool_cmis_cdb_cmd_args *args);

Add the CDB layer to support initializing, finishing and executing CDB
commands:

* The initialization process will include creating of an ethtool_cmis_cdb
  instance, querying the module CDB support, entering and validating the
  password from user space (CMD 0x0000) and querying the module features
  (CMD 0x0040).

* The finishing API will simply free the ethtool_cmis_cdb instance.

* The executing process will write the CDB command to EEPROM using
  set_module_eeprom_by_page() that was presented earlier, and will
  process the reply from EEPROM.
