net/mlx5e: Add devlink hairpin queues parameters
We refer to a TC NIC rule that involves forwarding as "hairpin".
Hairpin queues are mlx5 hardware specific implementation for hardware
forwarding of such packets.
Per the discussion in [1], move the hairpin queues control (number and
size) from debugfs to devlink.
Expose two devlink params:
- hairpin_num_queues: control the number of hairpin queues
- hairpin_queue_size: control the size (in packets) of the hairpin queues
