ice: move VF overflow message count into struct ice_mbx_vf_info

The ice driver has some logic in ice_vf_mbx.c used to detect potentially
malicious VF behavior with regards to overflowing the PF mailbox. This
logic currently stores message counts in struct ice_mbx_vf_counter.vf_cntr
as an array. This array is allocated during initialization with
ice_mbx_init_snapshot.

This logic makes sense for SR-IOV where all VFs are allocated at once up
front. However, in the future with Scalable IOV this logic will not work.
VFs can be added and removed dynamically. We could try to keep the vf_cntr
array for the maximum possible number of VFs, but this is a waste of
memory.

Use the recently introduced struct ice_mbx_vf_info structure to store the
message count. Pass a pointer to the mbx_info for a VF instead of using its
VF ID. Replace the array of VF message counts with a linked list that
tracks all currently active mailbox tracking info structures.
