net/mlx5e: Support tc block sharing for representors

Browse source

Currently offloading a rule over a tc block shared by multiple
representors fails because an e-switch global hashtable to keep
the mapping from tc cookies to mlx5e flow instances is used, and
tc block sharing offloads the same rule/cookie multiple times,
each time for different representor sharing the tc block.

Changing the implementation and behavior by acknowledging and returning
success if the same rule/cookie is offloaded again to other slave
representor sharing the tc block by setting, checking and comparing
the netdev that added the rule first.
