net: mscc: ocelot: establish functions for handling VCAP aux resources
Some VCAP filters utilize resources which are global to the switch, like for example VCAP IS2 policers take an index into a global policer pool. In commit c9a7fe12 ("net: mscc: ocelot: add action of police on vcap_is2"), Xiaoliang expressed this by hooking into the low-level ocelot_vcap_filter_add_to_block() and ocelot_vcap_block_remove_filter() functions, and allocating/freeing the policers from there. Evaluating the code, there probably isn't a better place, but we'll need to do something similar for the mirror ports, and the code will start to look even more hacked up than it is right now. Create two ocelot_vcap_filter_{add,del}_aux_resources() functions to contain the madness, and pollute less the body of other functions such as ocelot_vcap_filter_add_to_block().
