MISC updates to mlx5 dirver

1) Aya Levin allows relaxed ordering over VFs

2) Gal Pressman Adds support XDP SQs for uplink representors in switchdev mode

3) Add debugfs TC stats and command failure syndrome for debuggability

4) Tariq uses variants of vzalloc where it could help

5) Multiport eswitch support from Elic Cohen:

Eli Cohen Says:
===============

The multiport eswitch feature allows to forward traffic from a
representor net device to the uplink port of an associated eswitch's
uplink port.

This feature requires creating a LAG object. Since LAG can be created
only once for a function, the feature is mutual exclusive with either
bonding or multipath.

Multipath eswitch mode is entered automatically these conditions are
met:
1. No other LAG related mode is active.
2. A rule that explicitly forwards to an uplink port is inserted.

The implementation maintains a reference count on such rules. When the
reference count reaches zero, the LAG is released and other modes may be
used.

When an explicit rule that explicitly forwards to an uplink port is
inserted while another LAG mode is active, that rule will not be
offloaded by the hardware since the hardware cannot guarantee that the
rule will actually be forwarded to that port.

Example rules that forwards to an uplink port is:

$ tc filter add dev rep0 root flower action mirred egress \
  redirect dev uplinkrep0

$ tc filter add dev rep0 root flower action mirred egress \
  redirect dev uplinkrep1

This feature is supported only if LAG_RESOURCE_ALLOCATION firmware
configuration parameter is set to true.

The series consists of three patches:
1. Lag state machine refactor
   This patch does not add new functionality but rather changes the way
   the state of the LAG is maintained.
2. Small fix to remove unused argument.
3. The actual implementation of the feature.
