net/mlx5: Set software owner ID during init HCA
Generate a unique 128bit identifier for each host and pass that value to firmware in the INIT_HCA command if it reports the sw_owner_id capability. Each device bound to the mlx5_core driver will have the same software owner ID. In subsequent patches mlx5_core devices will be bound via a new VPort command so that they can operate together under a single InfiniBand device. Only devices that have the same software owner ID can be bound, to prevent traffic intended for one host arriving at another. The INIT_HCA command length was expanded by 128 bits. The command length is provided as an input FW commands. Older FW does not have a problem receiving this command in the new longer form.
