net/mlx5e: Add hairpin debugfs files

Browse source

We refer to a TC NIC rule that involves forwarding as "hairpin".
Hairpin queues are mlx5 hardware specific implementation for hardware
forwarding of such packets.

For debug purposes, introduce debugfs files which:
* Expose the number of active hairpins
* Dump the hairpin table
* Allow control over the number and size of the hairpin queues instead
  of the hard-coded values.

This allows us to get visibility of the feature in order to improve it
for next generation hardware.

Add debugfs files:
  fs/tc/hairpin_num_active
  fs/tc/hairpin_num_queues
  fs/tc/hairpin_queue_size
  fs/tc/hairpin_table_dump

Note that the new values will only take effect on the next queues
creation, it does not affect existing queues.
