aoe: kernel thread handles I/O completions for simple locking
Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios
and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an
"aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O.
The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of
preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and
degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure.
Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a
process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in
the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming
unusable.
