Allow to selectively build the driver with or without sriov eswitch, VF
representors and TC offloads.
Also remove the need of two ndo ops structures (sriov & basic)
and keep only one unified ndo ops, compile out VF SRIOV ndos when not
needed (MLX5_ESWITCH=n), and for VF netdev calling those ndos will result
in returning -EPERM.

Remove redundant call to unregister vport representor in mlx5e_add error
flow.
Hide the representor priv and eswitch internal structures from en_main.c
as preparation step for downstream patches which would allow building
the driver without support for representors and eswitch.

When IP tunnel encapsulation rules are offloaded, the kernel can't see
the traffic of the offloaded flow. The neighbour for the IP tunnel
destination of the offloaded flow can mistakenly become STALE and
deleted by the kernel since its 'used' value wasn't changed.
To make sure that a neighbour which is used by the HW won't become
STALE, we proactively update the neighbour 'used' value every
DELAY_PROBE_TIME period, when packets were matched and counted by the HW
for one of the tunnel encap flows related to this neighbour.
The periodic task that updates the used neighbours is scheduled when a
tunnel encap rule is successfully offloaded into HW and keeps re-scheduling
itself as long as the representor's neighbours list isn't empty.
Add, remove, lookup and status change operations done over the
representor's neighbours list or the neighbour hash entry encaps list
are all serialized by RTNL lock.

In order to offload TC encap rules, the driver does a lookup for the IP
tunnel neighbour according to the output device and the destination IP
given by the user.
To keep tracking after the validity state of such neighbours, we keep
the neighbours information (pair of device pointer and destination IP)
in a hash table maintained at the relevant egress representor and
register to get NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE events. When getting neighbour update
netevent, we search for a match among the cached neighbours entries used for
encapsulation.
In case the neighbour isn't valid, we can't offload the flow into the
HW. We cache the flow (requested matching and actions) in the driver and
offload the rule later, when the neighbour is resolved and becomes
valid.
When a flow is only cached in the driver and not offloaded into HW
yet, we use EAGAIN return value to mark it internally, the TC ndo still
returns success.
Listen to kernel neighbour update netevents to trace relevant neighbours
validity state:
1. If a neighbour becomes valid, offload the related rules to HW.
2. If the neighbour becomes invalid, remove the related rules from HW.
3. If the neighbour mac address was changed, update the encap header.
Remove all the offloaded rules using the old encap header from the HW
and insert new rules to HW with updated encap header.
Access to the neighbors hash table is protected by RTNL lock of its
caller or by the table's spinlock.
Details of the locking/synchronization among the different actions
applied on the neighbour table:
Add/remove operations - protected by RTNL lock of its caller (all TC
commands are protected by RTNL lock). Add and remove operations are
initiated only when the user inserts/removes a TC rule into/from the driver.
Lookup/remove operations - since the lookup operation is done from
netevent notifier block, RTNL lock can't be used (atomic context).
Use the table's spin lock to protect lookups from TC user removal operation.
bh is used since netevent can be called from a softirq context.
Lookup/add operations - The hash table access functions are taking
care of the protection between lookup and add operations.
When adding/removing encap headers and rules to/from the HW, RTNL lock
is used. It can happen when:
1. The user inserts/removes a TC rule into/from the driver (TC commands
are protected by RTNL lock of it's caller).
2. The driver gets neighbour notification event, which reports about
neighbour validity status change. Before adding/removing encap headers
and rules to/from the HW, RTNL lock is taken.
A neighbour hash table entry should be freed when its encap list is empty.
Since The neighbour update netevent notification schedules a neighbour
update work that uses the neighbour hash entry, it can't be freed
unconditionally when the encap list becomes empty during TC delete rule flow.
Use reference count to protect from freeing neighbour hash table entry
while it's still in use.
When the user asks to unregister a netdvice used by one of the neigbours,
neighbour removal notification is received. Then we take a reference on the
neighbour and don't free it until the relevant encap entries (and flows) are
marked as invalid (not offloaded) and removed from HW.
As long as the encap entry is still valid (checked under RTNL lock) we
can safely access the neighbour device saved on mlx5e_neigh struct.

Add hash table to the representors which is to be used by the next patch
to save neighbours information in the driver.
In order to offload IP tunnel encapsulation rules, the driver must find
the tunnel dst neighbour according to the output device and the
destination address given by the user. The next patch will cache the
neighbors information in the driver to allow support in neigh update
flow for tunnel encap rules.
The neighbour entries are also saved in a list so we easily iterate over
them when querying statistics in order to provide 'used' feedback to the
kernel neighbour NUD core.

The encap entry structure isn't manipulated by the eswitch code,
hence it can/needs to be removed from the eswitch header.
Do that, and change it to have mlx5e_ prefix.
This patch doesn't change any functionality.

Make representor netdev private data extendable by adding new struct
"mlx5e_rep_priv" and use it as the rep netdev private data struct
instead of directly pointing to mlx5_eswitch_rep.
Added new en_rep.h header file to contain all representor related
definitions and prototypes, and moved all representor specific logic
into en_rep.c.
Needed for downstream patches to extend representor functionality to
support neighbour update.
