The next patch will add the ability to share nexthop counters among
mlxsw nexthops backed by the same core nexthop. To have a place to store
reference count, the counter should be kept in a dedicated structure. In
this patch, introduce the structure together with the related helpers, sans
the refcount, which comes in the next patch.
