mlx5: remove unused static inlines

mlx5 has some unused static inline helpers in include/
while at it also clean static inlines in the driver itself.

net/mlx5e: Add mlx5e HV VHCA stats agent

HV VHCA stats agent is responsible on running a preiodic rx/tx
packets/bytes stats update. Currently the supported format is version
MLX5_HV_VHCA_STATS_VERSION. Block ID 1 is dedicated for statistics data
transfer from the VF to the PF.

The reporter fetch the statistics data from all opened channels, fill it
in a buffer and send it to mlx5_hv_vhca_write_agent.

As the stats layer should include some metadata per block (sequence and
offset), the HV VHCA layer shall modify the buffer before actually send it
over block 1.

net/mlx5: Add HV VHCA control agent

Control agent is responsible over of the control block (ID 0). It should
update the PF via this block about every capability change. In addition,
upon block 0 invalidate, it should activate all other supported agents
with data requests from the PF.

Upon agent create/destroy, the invalidate callback of the control agent
is being called in order to update the PF driver about this change.

The control agent is an integral part of HV VHCA and will be created
and destroy as part of the HV VHCA init/cleanup flow.

net/mlx5: Add HV VHCA infrastructure

HV VHCA is a layer which provides PF to VF communication channel based on
HyperV PCI config channel. It implements Mellanox's Inter VHCA control
communication protocol. The protocol contains control block in order to
pass messages between the PF and VF drivers, and data blocks in order to
pass actual data.

The infrastructure is agent based. Each agent will be responsible of
contiguous buffer blocks in the VHCA config space. This infrastructure will
bind agents to their blocks, and those agents can only access read/write
the buffer blocks assigned to them. Each agent will provide three
callbacks (control, invalidate, cleanup). Control will be invoked when
block-0 is invalidated with a command that concerns this agent. Invalidate
callback will be invoked if one of the blocks assigned to this agent was
invalidated. Cleanup will be invoked before the agent is being freed in
order to clean all of its open resources or deferred works.

Block-0 serves as the control block. All execution commands from the PF
will be written by the PF over this block. VF will ack on those by
writing on block-0 as well. Its format is described by struct
mlx5_hv_vhca_control_block layout.
