net/mlx5e: Uninstantiate esw manager vport netdev on switchdev mode

Browse source 
Now, when we have a dedicated uplink representor, the netdev instance
set over the esw manager vport (PF) is of no-use. As such, remove it
once we're on switchdev mode and get it back to life when off switchdev.

This is done by reloading the Ethernet interface as well (we already
do that for the IB interface) from the eswitch code while going in/out
of switchdev mode.

The Eth add/remove entries are modified to act differently when called in
switchdev mode. In this case we only deal with registration of the eth
vport representors. The rep netdevices are created from the eswitch call
to load the registered eth representors.
