net/mlx5: Lag, add debugfs to query hardware lag state



Lag state has become very complicated with many modes, flags, types and
port selections methods and future work will add additional features.

Add a debugfs to query the current lag state. A new directory named "lag"
will be created under the mlx5 debugfs directory. As the driver has
debugfs per pci function the location will be: <debugfs>/mlx5/<BDF>/lag

For example:
/sys/kernel/debug/mlx5/0000:08:00.0/lag

The following files are exposed:

- state: Returns "active" or "disabled". If "active" it means hardware
         lag is active.

- members: Returns the BDFs of all the members of lag object.

- type: Returns the type of the lag currently configured. Valid only
	if hardware lag is active.
	* "roce" - Members are bare metal PFs.
	* "switchdev" - Members are in switchdev mode.
	* "multipath" - ECMP offloads.

- port_sel_mode: Returns the egress port selection method, valid
		 only if hardware lag is active.
		 * "queue_affinity" - Egress port is selected by
		   the QP/SQ affinity.
		 * "hash" - Egress port is selected by hash done on
		   each packet. Controlled by: xmit_hash_policy of the
		   bond device.
- flags: Returns flags that are specific per lag @type. Valid only if
	 hardware lag is active.
	 * "shared_fdb" - "on" or "off", if "on" single FDB is used.

- mapping: Returns the mapping which is used to select egress port.
	   Valid only if hardware lag is active.
	   If @port_sel_mode is "hash" returns the active egress ports.
	   The hash result will select only active ports.
	   if @port_sel_mode is "queue_affinity" returns the mapping
	   between the configured port affinity of the QP/SQ and actual
	   egress port. For example:
	   * 1:1 - Mapping means if the configured affinity is port 1
	           traffic will egress via port 1.
	   * 1:2 - Mapping means if the configured affinity is port 1
		   traffic will egress via port 2. This can happen
		   if port 1 is down or in active/backup mode and port 1
		   is backup.
