mlxsw: spectrum: Replace vPorts with Port-VLAN
As explained in the cover letter, since the introduction of the bridge offload in the mlxsw driver, information related to the offloaded bridge and bridge ports was stored in the individual port struct, mlxsw_sp_port. This lead to a bloated struct storing both physical properties of the port (e.g., autoneg status) as well as logical properties of an upper bridge port (e.g., learning, mrouter indication). While this might work well for simple devices, it proved to be hard to extend when stacked devices were taken into account and more advanced use-cases (e.g., IGMP snooping) considered. This patch removes the excess information from the above struct and instead stores it in more appropriate structs that represent the bridge port, the bridge itself and a VLAN configured on the bridge port. The membership of a port in a bridge is denoted using the Port-VLAN struct, which points to the bridge port and also member in the bridge VLAN group of the VLAN it represents. This allows us to completely remove the vPort abstraction and consolidate many of the code paths relating to VLAN-aware and unaware bridges. Note that the FID / vFID code is currently duplicated, but this will soon go away when the common FID core will be introduced.
