devlink: Introduce controller number
A devlink port may be for a controller consist of PCI device. A devlink instance holds ports of two types of controllers. (1) controller discovered on same system where eswitch resides This is the case where PCI PF/VF of a controller and devlink eswitch instance both are located on a single system. (2) controller located on external host system. This is the case where a controller is located in one system and its devlink eswitch ports are located in a different system. When a devlink eswitch instance serves the devlink ports of both controllers together, PCI PF/VF numbers may overlap. Due to this a unique phys_port_name cannot be constructed. For example in below such system controller-0 and controller-1, each has PCI PF pf0 whose eswitch ports can be present in controller-0. These results in phys_port_name as "pf0" for both. Similar problem exists for VFs and upcoming Sub functions.
