net/mlx5: E-Switch, rebuild lag only when needed
A user can enable VFs without changing E-Switch mode, this can happen when a user moves straight to switchdev mode and only once in switchdev VFs are enabled via the sysfs interface. The cited commit assumed this isn't possible and exposed a single API function where the E-switch calls into the lag code, breaks the lag and prevents any other lag operations to take place until the E-switch update has ended. Breaking the hardware lag when it isn't needed can make it such that hardware lag can't be enabled again. In the sysfs call path check if the current E-Switch mode is NONE, in the context of the function it can only mean the E-Switch is moving out of NONE mode and the hardware lag should be disabled and enabled once the mode change has ended. If the mode isn't NONE it means VFs are about to be enabled and such operation doesn't require toggling the hardware lag.
