This patch allows one to enable relax order mode in intel NIC's
Kconfig. CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER is a common macro for some
CPU architecture to use relax order mode in NIC's source codes.
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER can be defined in arch/xxx/Kconfig,
such as sparc system exists in arch/sparc/Kconfig, but not all
of arm64 systems can use relax order mode, so it can't be defined
in arch/arm64/Kconfig. Therefore PCI_RELAX_ORDER in NIC's Kconfig
provide one way to define macro CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER.
