{net,vdpa}/mlx5: Configure interface MAC into mpfs L2 table net/mlx5: Expose MPFS configuration API MPFS is the multi physical function switch that bridges traffic between the physical port and any physical functions associated with it. The driver is required to add or remove MAC entries to properly forward incoming traffic to the correct physical function. We export the API to control MPFS so that other drivers, such as mlx5_vdpa are able to add MAC addresses of their network interfaces. The MAC address of the vdpa interface must be configured into the MPFS L2 address. Failing to do so could cause, in some NIC configurations, failure to forward packets to the vdpa network device instance. Fix this by adding calls to update the MPFS table.

net/mlx5: Separate between E-Switch and MPFS Multi-Physical Function Switch (MPFs) is required for when multi-PF configuration is enabled to allow passing user configured unicast MAC addresses to the requesting PF. Before this patch eswitch.c used to manage the HW MPFS l2 table, E-Switch always (regardless of sriov) enabled vport(0) (NIC PF) vport's contexts update on unicast mac address list changes, to populate the PF's MPFS L2 table accordingly. In downstream patch we would like to allow compiling the driver without E-Switch functionalities, for that we move MPFS l2 table logic out of eswitch.c into its own file, and provide Kconfig flag (MLX5_MPFS) to allow compiling out MPFS for those who don't want Multi-PF support. NIC PF netdevice will now directly update MPFS l2 table via the new MPFS API. VF netdevice has no access to MPFS L2 table, so E-Switch will remain responsible of updating its MPFS l2 table on behalf of its VFs. Due to this change we also don't require enabling vport(0) (PF vport) unicast mac changes events anymore, for when SRIOV is not enabled. Which means E-Switch is now activated only on SRIOV activation, and not required otherwise.
