Subject: net: ethtool: add support for reset of AP inside NIC interface.
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
Git-commit: 40e44a1e669d078946f46853808a60d29e6f0885
References: bsc#1050242 FATE#322914

Add ETH_RESET_AP to reset the application processor(s) inside the NIC
interface.

Current ETH_RESET_MGMT supports a management processor inside this NIC.
This is typically used for remote NIC management purposes.

Application processors exist inside some SmartNICs to run various
applications inside the NIC processor - be it a simple algorithm without
an OS to as complex as hosting multiple VMs.
