mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Fix ACL scale regression and firmware errors



ACLs that reside in the algorithmic TCAM (A-TCAM) in Spectrum-2 and
newer ASICs can share the same mask if their masks only differ in up to
8 consecutive bits. For example, consider the following filters:

 # tc filter add dev swp1 ingress pref 1 proto ip flower dst_ip 192.0.2.0/24 action drop
 # tc filter add dev swp1 ingress pref 1 proto ip flower dst_ip 198.51.100.128/25 action drop

The second filter can use the same mask as the first (dst_ip/24) with a
delta of 1 bit.

However, the above only works because the two filters have different
values in the common unmasked part (dst_ip/24). When entries have the
same value in the common unmasked part they create undesired collisions
in the device since many entries now have the same key. This leads to
firmware errors such as [1] and to a reduced scale.

Fix by adjusting the hash table key to only include the value in the
common unmasked part. That is, without including the delta bits. That
way the driver will detect the collision during filter insertion and
spill the filter into the circuit TCAM (C-TCAM).

Add a test case that fails without the fix and adjust existing cases
that check C-TCAM spillage according to the above limitation.
