net/mlx5: Add traffic class scheduling support for vport QoS
Introduce support for traffic class (TC) scheduling on vports by allowing the vport to own multiple TC scheduling nodes. This patch enables more granular control of QoS by defining three distinct QoS states for vports, each providing unique scheduling behavior: 1. Regular QoS: The `sched_node` represents the vport directly, handling QoS as a single scheduling entity. 2. TC QoS on the vport: The `sched_node` acts as a TC arbiter, enabling TC scheduling directly on the vport. 3. TC QoS on the parent node: The `sched_node` functions as a rate limiter, with TC arbitration enabled at the parent level, associating multiple scheduling nodes with each vport. Key changes include: - Added support for new scheduling elements, vport traffic class and rate limiter. - New helper functions for creating, destroying, and restoring vport TC scheduling nodes, handling transitions between regular QoS and TC arbitration states. - Updated `esw_qos_vport_enable()` and `esw_qos_vport_disable()` to support both regular QoS and TC arbitration states, ensuring consistent transitions between scheduling modes. - Introduced a `sched_nodes` array under `vport->qos` to store multiple TC scheduling nodes per vport, enabling finer control over per-TC QoS. - Enhanced `esw_qos_vport_update_parent()` to handle transitions between the three QoS states based on the current and new parent node types. This patch lays the groundwork for future support for configuring tc-bw on vports. Although the infrastructure is in place, full support for tc-bw is not yet implemented; attempts to set tc-bw on vports will return `-EOPNOTSUPP`. No functional changes are introduced at this stage.
