      ====================
      net/mlx5: use indirect call wrappers
      
      The mlx5_core driver uses several indirect calls in fast-path, some of them
      are invoked on each ingress packet, even for the XDP-only traffic.
      
      This series leverage the indirect call wrappers infrastructure the avoid
      the expansive RETPOLINE overhead for 2 indirect calls in fast-path.
      
      Each call is addressed on a different patch, plus we need to introduce a couple
      of additional helpers to cope with the higher number of possible direct-call
      alternatives.
      
      v2 -> v3:
       - do not add more INDIRECT_CALL_* macros
       - use only the direct calls always available regardless of
         the mlx5 build options in the last patch
      
      v1 -> v2:
       - update the direct call list and use a macro to define it,
         as per Saeed suggestion. An intermediated additional
         macro is needed to allow arg list expansion
       - patch 2/3 is unchanged, as the generated code looks better this way than
         with possible alternative (dropping BP hits)
