net/mlx5: SD, Implement devcom communication and primary election
Use devcom to communicate between the different devices. Add a new devcom component type for this. Each device registers itself to the devcom component <SD, group ID>. Once all devices of a component are registered, the component becomes ready, and a primary device is elected. In principle, any of the devices can act as a primary, they are all capable, and a random election would've worked. However, we aim to achieve predictability and consistency, hence each group always choses the same device, with the lowest PCI BUS number, as primary.
