net/mlx5e: Support cross-vhca RSS

Implement driver support for the HW feature that allows RX steering of
one device to target other device's RQs.

In SD multi-pf netdev mode, we set the secondaries into silent mode,
disconnecting them from the network. This feature is then used to steer
traffic from the primary to the secondaries.

that v6.8 merge window has started - let's revert this and
revisit for v6.9.

net/mlx5e: xsk: Use queue indices starting from 0 for XSK queues

In the initial implementation of XSK in mlx5e, XSK RQs coexisted with
regular RQs in the same channel. The main idea was to allow RSS work the
same for regular traffic, without need to reconfigure RSS to exclude XSK
queues.

However, this scheme didn't prove to be beneficial, mainly because of
incompatibility with other vendors. Some tools don't properly support
using higher indices for XSK queues, some tools get confused with the
double amount of RQs exposed in sysfs. Some use cases are purely XSK,
and allocating the same amount of unused regular RQs is a waste of
resources.

This commit changes the queuing scheme to the standard one, where XSK
RQs replace regular RQs on the channels where XSK sockets are open. Two
RQs still exist in the channel to allow failsafe disable of XSK, but
only one is exposed at a time. The next commit will achieve the desired
memory save by flushing the buffers when the regular RQ is unused.

As the result of this transition:

1. It's possible to use RSS contexts over XSK RQs.

2. It's possible to dedicate all queues to XSK.

3. When XSK RQs coexist with regular RQs, the admin should make sure no
unwanted traffic goes into XSK RQs by either excluding them from RSS or
settings up the XDP program to return XDP_PASS for non-XSK traffic.

4. When using a mixed fleet of mlx5e devices and other netdevs, the same
configuration can be applied. If the application supports the fallback
to copy mode on unsupported drivers, it will work too.

net/mlx5e: Introduce mlx5e_channels API to get RQNs

Currently, struct mlx5e_channels is defined in en.h, along with a lot of
other stuff. In the following commit mlx5e_rx_res will need to get RQNs
(RQ hardware IDs), given a pointer to mlx5e_channels and the channel
index. In order to make it possible without including the whole en.h,
this commit introduces functions that will hide the implementation
details of mlx5e_channels.
