net/mlx5e: Term table handling of internal port rules
Adjust termination table logic to handle rules which involve internal port as filter or forwarding device. For cases where the rule forwards from internal port to uplink, always choose to go via termination table. This is because it is not known from where the packet originally arrived to the internal port and it is possible that it came from the uplink itself, in which case a term table is required to perform hairpin. If the packet arrived from a vport, going via term table has no effect. For cases where the rule forwards to an internal port from uplink the rep pointer will point to the uplink rep, avoid going via termination table as it is not required.
