net/mlx5e: TC, CT: Offload ct clear only once

Non-clear CT action causes a flow rule split, while CT clear action
doesn't and is just a header-rewrite to the current flow rule.
But ct offload is done in post_parse and is per ct action instance,
so ct clear offload is parsed multiple times, while its deleted once.

Fix this by post_parsing the ct action only once per flow attribute
(which is per flow rule) by using a offloaded ct_attr flag.

net/mlx5e: TC, Remove special handling of CT action

CT action has special treating as a per-flow action since
it was assumed to be singular and reordered to be first on
the action list.

This isn't the case anymore, and can be converted to just a
FWD to pre_ct + MODIFY_HEAD, and handled per post_act rule.

Remove special handling of CT action, and offload it while
post parsing each ct attribute.

net/mlx5e: TC, Set CT miss to the specific ct action instance

Currently, CT misses restore the missed chain on the tc skb extension so
tc will continue from the relevant chain. Instead, restore the CT action's
miss cookie on the extension, which will instruct tc to continue from the
this specific CT action instance on the relevant filter's action list.

Map the CT action's miss_cookie to a new miss object (ACT_MISS), and use
this miss mapping instead of the current chain miss object (CHAIN_MISS)
for CT action misses.

To restore this new miss mapping value, add a RX restore rule for each
such mapping value.

net/mlx5e: Add post meter table for flow metering

Flow meter object monitors the packets rate for the flows it is
attached to, and color packets with GREEN or RED. The post meter table
is used to check the color. Packet is dropped if it's RED, or
forwarded to post_act table if GREEN.

Packet color will be set to 8 LSB of the register C5, so they are
reserved for metering, which are previously used for matching fte id.

net/mlx5e: TC, Fix ct_clear overwriting ct action metadata

ct_clear action is translated to clearing reg_c metadata
which holds ct state and zone information using mod header
actions.
These actions are allocated during the actions parsing, as
part of the flow attributes main mod header action list.

If ct action exists in the rule, the flow's main mod header
is used only in the post action table rule, after the ct tables
which set the ct info in the reg_c as part of the ct actions.

Therefore, if the original rule has a ct_clear action followed
by a ct action, the ct action reg_c setting will be done first and
will be followed by the ct_clear resetting reg_c and overwriting
the ct info.

Fix this by moving the ct_clear mod header actions allocation from
the ct action parsing stage to the ct action post parsing stage where
it is already known if ct_clear is followed by a ct action.
In such case, we skip the mod header actions allocation for the ct
clear since the ct action will write to reg_c anyway after clearing it.

net/mlx5: CT: Add software steering ct flow steering provider

fs_core layer adds extra book keeping that is either unneeded for CT, or
unused by the underlying software steering, such as allocating FTEs and
FTE ids, saving the match key and mask, and autogroups management.
On top of that, direct steering has a translation layer (fs_dr) from PRM
commands to direct steering objects, for example, creating temporary
dr_action objects. This has a performance impact when dealing
with CT high insertion rate.

To use direct steering (smfs) directly for ct, add a tc ct fs smfs
implementation. Instead of dmfs autogroups, smfs ct fs uses one of 4
predefined dr matchers in CT and CT-NAT tables, for each combination
of tuple ethertype (ipv4/ipv6), and tuple ip_proto (udp/tcp) that
is currently used by nf flow table flow offload.

At rule insertions, validate the flow rule fits one of the predfined
matcher, and insert to it.

To fill the dr_actions of the rule efficiently, create the fwd to post_ct
tbl dr_action at fs init, the count dr_action at counter creation,
and re-use the already pre-allocated modify header dr_action.

net/mlx5e: CT, Fix multiple allocations and memleak of mod acts

CT clear action offload adds additional mod hdr actions to the
flow's original mod actions in order to clear the registers which
hold ct_state.
When such flow also includes encap action, a neigh update event
can cause the driver to unoffload the flow and then reoffload it.

Each time this happens, the ct clear handling adds that same set
of mod hdr actions to reset ct_state until the max of mod hdr
actions is reached.

Also the driver never releases the allocated mod hdr actions and
causing a memleak.

Fix above two issues by moving CT clear mod acts allocation
into the parsing actions phase and only use it when offloading the rule.
The release of mod acts will be done in the normal flow_put().

net/mlx5e: Support CT offload for tc nic flows

Adding support to perform CT related tc actions and
matching on CT states for nic flows.

The ct flows management and handling will be done using a new
instance of the ct database that is declared in this patch to
keep it separate from the eswitch ct flows database.
Offloading and unoffloading ct flows will be done using the
existing ct offload api by providing it the relevant ct
database reference in each mode.

In addition, refactoring the tc ct api is introduced to make it
agnostic to the flow type and perform the resource allocations
and rule insertion to the proper steering domain in the device.

In the initialization call, the api requests and stores in the ct
database instance all the relevant information that distinguishes
between nic flows and esw flows, such as chains database, steering
namespace and mod hdr table.
This way the operations of adding and removing ct flows to the device
can later performed agnostically to the flow type.

net/mlx5: Refactor tc flow attributes structure

In order to support chains and connection tracking offload for
nic flows, there's a need to introduce a common flow attributes
struct so that these features can be agnostic and have access to
a single attributes struct, regardless of the flow type.

Therefore, a new tc flow attributes format is introduced to allow
access to attributes that are common to eswitch and nic flows.

The common attributes will always get allocated for the new flows,
regardless of their type, while the type specific attributes are
separated into different structs and will be allocated based on the
flow type to avoid memory waste.

When allocating the flow attributes the caller provides the flow
steering namespace and according the namespace type the additional
space for the extra, type specific, attributes is determined and
added to the total attribute allocation size.

In addition, the attributes that are going to be common to both
flow types are moved to the common attributes struct.
