net/mlx5: Add support for devlink reload limit no reset

Browse source

Add support for devlink reload action fw_activate with reload limit
no_reset which does firmware live patching, updating the firmware image
without reset, no downtime and no configuration lose. The driver checks
if the firmware is capable of handling the pending firmware changes as a
live patch. If it is then it triggers firmware live patching flow.
