net/mlx5: E-Switch, Split VF and special vports for offloads mode
When driver is entering offloads mode, there are two major tasks to do: initialize flow steering and create representors. Flow steering should make sure enough flow table/group spaces are reserved for all reps. Representors will be created in a group, all or none. With the introduction of ECPF, flow steering should still reserve the same spaces. But, the representors are not always loaded/unloaded in a single piece. Once ECPF is in offloads mode, it will get the number of VF changing event from host PF. In such scenario, only the VF reps should be loaded/unloaded, not the reps for special vports (such as the uplink vport). Thus, when entering offloads mode, driver should specify the total number of reps, and the number of VF reps separately. When leaving offloads mode, the cleanup should use the information self-contained in eswitch such as number of VFs. This patch doesn't change any functionality.
