net/mlx5: E-Switch, let user to enable disable metadata

Currently each packet inserted in eswitch is tagged with a internal
metadata to indicate source vport. Metadata tagging is not always
needed. Metadata insertion is needed for multi-port RoCE, failover
between representors and stacked devices. In many other cases,
metadata enablement is not needed.

Metadata insertion slows down the packet processing rate of the E-switch
when it is in switchdev mode.

Below table show performance gain with metadata disabled for VXLAN
offload rules in both SMFS and DMFS steering mode on ConnectX-5 device.

----------------------------------------------
| steering | metadata | pkt size | rx pps    |
| mode     |          |          | (million) |
----------------------------------------------
| smfs     | disabled | 128Bytes | 42        |
----------------------------------------------
| smfs     | enabled  | 128Bytes | 36        |
----------------------------------------------
| dmfs     | disabled | 128Bytes | 42        |
----------------------------------------------
| dmfs     | enabled  | 128Bytes | 36        |
----------------------------------------------

Hence, allow user to disable metadata using driver specific devlink
parameter. Metadata setting of the eswitch is applicable only for the
switchdev mode.

Example to show and disable metadata before changing eswitch mode:
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata
pci/0000:06:00.0:
  name esw_port_metadata type driver-specific
    values:
      cmode runtime value true

$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 \
	  name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime

$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev

+esw_port_metadata: Eswitch port metadata state
+----------------------------------------------
+When applicable, disabling Eswitch metadata can increase packet rate
+up to 20% depending on the use case and packet sizes.
+
+Eswitch port metadata state controls whether to internally tag packets with
+metadata. Metadata tagging must be enabled for multi-port RoCE, failover
+between representors and stacked devices.
+By default metadata is enabled on the supported devices in E-switch.
+Metadata is applicable only for E-switch in switchdev mode and
+users may disable it when NONE of the below use cases will be in use:
+1. HCA is in Dual/multi-port RoCE mode.
+2. VF/SF representor bonding (Usually used for Live migration)
+3. Stacked devices
+
+When metadata is disabled, the above use cases will fail to initialize if
+users try to enable them.
+
+- Show eswitch port metadata::
+
+    $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata
+      pci/0000:06:00.0:
+        name esw_port_metadata type driver-specific
+          values:
+            cmode runtime value true
+
+- Disable eswitch port metadata::
+
+    $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime
+
+- Change eswitch mode to switchdev mode where after choosing the metadata value::
+
+    $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev

 ================
 mlx5 supports subfunction management using devlink port (see :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-port.rst <devlink_port>`) interface.
