switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of
port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be
flooded twice.
It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first
bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents
packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood
packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch.
This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account,
such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper
devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two
different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which
is impossible.
The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the
physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports,
which are not necessarily port netdevs.
Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge
driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already
forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark
assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from
being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e.
having the same parent ID).
Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and
instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the
sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

The problem is that fib_info->nh is [0] so the struct fib_info
allocation size depends on number of nexthops. If we just copy fib_info,
we do not copy the nexthops info and driver accesses memory which is not
ours.
Given the fact that fib4 does not defer operations and therefore it does
not need copy, just pass the pointer down to drivers as it was done
before.

This is OF-DPA specific, used only there, similar to
ofdpa_port->ageing_time. So move it to OF-DPA code.

In rocker, ageing time is a per-port attribute, so the next time the FDB
cleanup timer fires should be set according to the lowest ageing time.
This will later allow us to delete the BR_MIN_AGEING_TIME macro, which was
added to guarantee minimum ageing time in the bridge layer, thereby breaking
existing behavior.

Carve out OF-DPA would specific code from the common file to the world
file. This change required struct rocker and struct rocker_port split
into world specific struct ofdpa and struct ofdpa_port. Along with this
the world specific functions and defines were renamed from prefix
"rocker_" to "ofdpa_".

This is another step on the way to per-world clean cut. Introduce world
ops hooks which each world can implement in world-specific way.
Also introduce world infrastructure along with OF-DPA world stub.
