mlxsw: spectrum: Split vFID range in two
Up until now we used a 1:1 mapping - based on VID - to map a VLAN
interface to a vFID. However, a different scheme is needed in order to
support bridges between VLAN interfaces, as all the member interfaces -
which can have different VIDs - need to share the same vFID.
Solve that by splitting the vFID range in two:
1. Non-bridged VLAN interfaces
2. Bridged VLAN interfaces
When a VLAN interface is created, assign it the next available vFID in
the first range, unless one already exists for that VID or number of
vFIDs in the range was exceeded. When interface is removed, free the
vFID, unless other interfaces are mapped to it.
To accomplish the above:
1. Store the VID to vFID mapping in a new struct (mlxsw_sp_vfid), which
has a global context and holds a reference count.
2. Create a vPort (dummy in case of bridge SELF invocation) on top of
of the physical port and hold a reference to the associated vFID.

Next patches in the series will add the missing infrastructure for the
second range and transfer vPorts between the two ranges according to the
received notifications.
