mlxsw: core: Unpublish devlink parameters during reload
The devlink parameter "acl_region_rehash_interval" is a runtime parameter whose value is stored in a dynamically allocated memory. While reloading the driver, this memory is freed and then allocated again. A use-after-free might happen if during this time frame someone tries to retrieve its value. Since commit 070c63f2 ("net: devlink: allow to change namespaces during reload") the use-after-free can be reliably triggered when reloading the driver into a namespace, as after freeing the memory (via reload_down() callback) all the parameters are notified. Fix this by unpublishing and then re-publishing the parameters during reload.
