event/octeontx2: add devargs to limit timer adapters

Add devargs to limit the max number of TIM rings reserved on probe.
Since, TIM rings are HW resources we can avoid starving other
applications by not grabbing all the rings.

Example:
	--dev "0002:0e:00.0,tim_rings_lmt=2"

+- ``TIM limit max rings reserved``
+
+  The ``tim_rings_lmt`` devargs can be used to limit the max number of TIM
+  rings i.e. event timer adapter reserved on probe. Since, TIM rings are HW
+  resources we can avoid starving other applications by not grabbing all the
+  rings.
+  For example::
+
+    --dev "0002:0e:00.0,tim_rings_lmt=5"
