ixgbe: reduce number of reads when getting OROM data

Currently, during locating the CIVD section, the ixgbe driver loops
over the OROM area and at each iteration reads only OROM-datastruct-size
amount of data. This results in many small reads and is inefficient.

Optimize this by reading the entire OROM bank into memory once before
entering the loop. This significantly reduces the probing time.

Without this patch probing time may exceed over 25s, whereas with this
patch applied average time of probe is not greater than 5s.
