net/mlx5_core: Introduce flow steering API Introducing the following objects: mlx5_flow_root_namespace: represent the root of specific flow table type tree(e.g NIC receive, FDB, etc..) mlx5_flow_group: define the mask of the flow specification. fs_fte(flow steering flow table entry): defines the value of the flow specification. The following describes the relationships between the tree objects: root_namespace --> priorities -->namespaces --> priorities -->flow-tables --> flow-groups --> flow-entries --> destinations When we create new object(flow table/flow group/flow table entry), we call to the FW command and then we add the related sw object to the tree. When we destroy object, e.g. call to mlx5_destroy_flow_table, we use the tree node destructor for destroying the FW object and remove the node from the tree.
