====================
mlxsw: Rework matchall offloading plumbing

Jiri says:

Currently the matchall and flower are handled by registering separate
callbacks in mlxsw. That leads to faulty indication "in_hw_count 2" in
filter show command for every inserted flower filter. That happens
because matchall callback just blindly returns 0 for it and it is
wrongly accounted for as "the offloader".

I inspected different ways to fix this problem. The only clean solution
is to rework handling of matchall in mlxsw a bit. The driver newely
registers one callback for bound block which is called for both matchall
and flower filter insertions.

On the way, iron out the matchall code a bit, push it into a separate
file etc.
