Subject: [PRE-REVIEW PATCH 04/16] net: liquidio: Prepare to use the new tasklet API

The future tasklet API will no longer allow to pass an arbitrary
"unsigned long" data parameter. The tasklet data structure will need to
be embedded into a data structure that will be retrieved from the tasklet
handler. Currently, the private driver data structure "struct
octeon_priv" is retrievable from the tasklet (by using container_of),
howerver it is not the case for the "struct octeon_device" (the field
"priv" is a pointer and cannot be used in container_of). This commit
adds a new field in the private data structure, so we can easily get a
pointer to the main device from the private context.
