ice: use DSN instead of PCI BDF for ice_adapter index
Use Device Serial Number instead of PCI bus/device/function for
the index of struct ice_adapter.
Functions on the same physical device should point to the very same
ice_adapter instance, but with two PFs, when at least one of them is
PCI-e passed-through to a VM, it is no longer the case - PFs will get
seemingly random PCI BDF values, and thus indices, what finally leds to
each of them being on their own instance of ice_adapter. That causes them
to don't attempt any synchronization of the PTP HW clock usage, or any
other future resources.
DSN works nicely in place of the index, as it is "immutable" in terms of
virtualization.
Fixes: 0e2bddf ("ice: add ice_adapter for shared data across PFs on the same NIC")
