mlxsw: spectrum: Store local port to module mapping during init
The port netdevs are each associated with a different local port number in the device. These local ports are grouped into groups of 4 (e.g. (1-4), (5-8)) called clusters. The cluster constitutes the one of two possible modules they can be mapped to. This mapping is board-specific and done by the device's firmware during init. When splitting a port by 4, the device requires us to first unmap all the ports in the cluster and then map each to a single lane in the module associated with the port netdev used as the handle for the operation. This means that two port netdevs will disappear, as only 100Gb/s (4 lanes) ports can be split and we are guaranteed to have two of these ((1, 3), (5, 7) etc.) in a cluster. When unsplit occurs we need to reinstantiate the two original 100Gb/s ports and map each to its origianl module. Therefore, during driver init store the initial local port to module mapping, so it can be used later during unsplitting. Note that a by 2 split doesn't require us to store the mapping, as we only need to reinstantiate one port whose module is known.
