net/mlx5: Redesign SF active work to remove table_lock

active_work is a work that iterates over all
possible SF devices which their SF port
representors are located on different function,
and in case SF is in active state, probes it.
Currently, the active_work in active_wq is
synced with mlx5_vhca_events_work via table_lock
and this lock causing a bottleneck in performance.

To remove table_lock, redesign active_wq logic
so that it now pushes active_work per SF to
mlx5_vhca_events_workqueues. Since the latter
workqueues are ordered, active_work and
mlx5_vhca_events_work with same index will be
pushed into same workqueue, thus it completely
eliminates the need for a lock.

net/mlx5: SF, do not use ecpu bit for vhca state processing

Device firmware doesn't handle ecpu bit for vhca state processing
events and commands. Instead device firmware refers to the unique
function id to distinguish SF of different PCI functions.

When ecpu bit is used, firmware returns a syndrome.

mlx5_cmd_check:780:(pid 872): MODIFY_VHCA_STATE(0xb0e) op_mod(0x0) failed, status bad parameter(0x3), syndrome (0x263211)
mlx5_sf_dev_table_create:248:(pid 872): SF DEV table create err = -22

Hence, avoid using ecpu bit.

net/mlx5: Introduce vhca state event notifier

vhca state events indicates change in the state of the vhca that may
occur due to a SF allocation, deallocation or enabling/disabling the
SF HCA.

Introduce vhca state event handler which will be used by SF devlink
port manager and SF hardware id allocator in subsequent patches
to act on the event.

This enables single entity to subscribe, query and rearm the event
for a function.
