net/mlx5: E-Switch, Use atomic rep state to serialize state change

When the state of rep was introduced, it was also designed to prevent
duplicate unloading of the same rep. Considering the following two
flows when an eswitch manager is at switchdev mode with n VF reps loaded.

+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| cpu-0                                | cpu-1                          |
| --------                             | --------                       |
| mlx5_ib_remove                       | mlx5_eswitch_disable_sriov     |
|  mlx5_ib_unregister_vport_reps       |  esw_offloads_cleanup          |
|   mlx5_eswitch_unregister_vport_reps |   esw_offloads_unload_all_reps |
|    __unload_reps_all_vport           |    __unload_reps_all_vport     |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------+

These two flows will try to unload the same rep. Per original design,
once one flow unloads the rep, the state moves to REGISTERED. The 2nd
flow will no longer needs to do the unload and bails out. However, as
read and write of the state is not atomic, when 1st flow is doing the
unload, the state is still LOADED, 2nd flow is able to do the same
unload action. Kernel crash will happen.

To solve this, driver should do atomic test-and-set for the state. So
that only one flow can change the rep state from LOADED to REGISTERED,
and proceed to do the actual unloading.

Since the state is changing to atomic type, all other read/write should
be atomic action as well.
