net/mlx5: E-Switch, Add support for the sriov offloads mode
Unlike the legacy mode, here, forwarding rules are not learned by the
driver per events on macs set by VFs/VMs into their vports, but rather
should be programmed by higher-level SW entities.
Saying that, still, in the offloads mode (SRIOV_OFFLOADS), two flow
groups are created by the driver for management (slow path) purposes:
The first group will be used for sending packets over e-switch vports
from the host OS where the e-switch management code runs, to be
received by VFs.
The second group will be used by a miss rule which forwards packets toward
the e-switch manager. Further logic will trap these packets such that
the receiving net-device as seen by the networking stack is the representor
of the vport that sent the packet over the e-switch data-path.
