mlx5/core: E-Switch, Create ACL FT for eswitch manager in switchdev mode
ACL flow table is required in switchdev mode when metadata is enabled, driver creates such table when loading each vport. However, not every vport is loaded in switchdev mode. Such as ECPF if it's the eswitch manager. In this case, ACL flow table is still needed. To make it modularized, create ACL flow table for eswitch manager as default and skip such operations when loading manager vport. Also, there is no need to load the eswitch manager vport in switchdev mode. This means there is no need to load it on regular connect-x HCAs where the PF is the eswitch manager. This will avoid creating duplicate ACL flow table for host PF vport.
