An imbalanced TX indirection table causes netvsc to have low
performance. This table is created and managed during runtime. To help
better diagnose performance issues caused by imbalanced tables, it needs
make TX indirection tables visible.
Because TX indirection table is driver specified information, so
display it via ethtool register dump.

v8: fix corrupt patch file
v7: move to ethtool register dump
v6: update names to be more precise, remove useless assignment
v5: update variable orders
v4: use a separated group to organize tx_indirection better, change
location of attributes init/exit to netvsc_drv_init/exit
