net/mlx5e: Extend hairpin entry with reference counter List of flows attached to hairpin entry is used as implicit reference counter (hairpin entry is deallocated when list becomes free) and as a mechanism to obtain hairpin entry that flow is attached to (through list head). This is not safe when concurrent modification of list of flows attached to hairpin entry is possible. Proper atomic reference counter is required to support concurrent access. As a preparation for extending hairpin with reference counting, extract code that deletes hairpin entry into standalone function. In order to remove this dependency on external locking, extend hairpin entry with reference counter to manage its lifetime and extend flow structure with direct pointer to hairpin entry that flow is attached to.
