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, add
device attributes to show the content of TX indirection tables.

v4: use a separated group to organize tx_indirection better, change 
 location of attributes init/exit to netvsc_drv_init/exit
v5: update variable orders
v6: update names to be more precise, remove useless assignment

Thank you all for comments, learned a lot.

Sorry for waiting until v6 but sysfs feel like a very strange place to
expose this. Especially under the netdev, not the bus device.

This looks like device specific state, perhaps ethtool -d is a more
appropriate place?

Agreed, or a devlink resource maybe?

Thank you for comments, I will move it to ethtool.
