net: prestera: manage matchall and flower priorities
matchall rules can be added only to chain 0 and their priorities have limitations: - new matchall ingress rule's priority must be higher (lower value) than any existing flower rule; - new matchall egress rule's priority must be lower (higher value) than any existing flower rule. The opposite works for flower rule adding: - new flower ingress rule's priority must be lower (higher value) than any existing matchall rule; - new flower egress rule's priority must be higher (lower value) than any existing matchall rule. This is a hardware limitation and thus must be properly handled in driver by reporting errors to the user when newly added rule has such a priority that cannot be installed into the hardware. To achieve this, the driver must maintain both min/max matchall priorities for every flower block when user adds/deletes a matchall rule, as well as both min/max flower priorities for chain 0 for every adding/deletion of flower rules for chain 0.
