ice: Switchdev FDB events support
Listen for SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD|DEL}_TO_DEVICE events while in switchdev mode. Accept these events on both uplink and VF PR ports. Add HW rules in newly created workqueue. FDB entries are stored in rhashtable for lookup when removing the entry and in the list for cleanup purpose. Direction of the HW rule depends on the type of the ports on which the FDB event was received: ICE_ESWITCH_BR_UPLINK_PORT: TX rule that forwards the packet to the LAN (egress). ICE_ESWITCH_BR_VF_REPR_PORT: RX rule that forwards the packet to the VF associated with the port representor. In both cases the rule matches on the dst mac address. All the FDB entries are stored in the bridge structure. When the port is removed all the FDB entries associated with this port are removed as well. This is achieved thanks to the reference to the port that FDB entry holds. In the fwd rule we use only one lookup type (MAC address) but lkups_cnt variable is already introduced because we will have more lookups in the subsequent patches.
