mlxsw: spectrum_router: Add trap adjacency entry upon first nexthop group
In commit 0c3cbbf9 ("mlxsw: Add specific trap for packets routed via invalid nexthops"), mlxsw started allocating a new adjacency entry during driver initialization, to trap packets routed via invalid nexthops. This behavior was later altered in commit 983db619 ("mlxsw: spectrum_router: Allocate discard adjacency entry when needed") to only allocate the entry upon the first route that requires it. The motivation for the change is explained in the commit message. The problem with the current behavior is that the entry shows up as a "leak" in a new BPF resource monitoring tool [1]. This is caused by the asymmetry of the allocation/free scheme. While the entry is allocated upon the first route that requires it, it is only freed during de-initialization of the driver. Instead, track the number of active nexthop groups and allocate the adjacency entry upon the creation of the first group. Free it when the number of active groups reaches zero. The next patch will convert mlxsw to start using the new entry and remove the old one.
