devlink external port attribute for SF (Sub-Function) port flavour
This adds the support to instantiate Sub-Functions on external hosts
E.g when Eswitch manager is enabled on the ARM SmarNic SoC CPU, users
are now able to spawn new Sub-Functions on the Host server CPU.

==================
This series introduces and uses external attribute for the SF port to
indicate that a SF port belongs to an external controller.
This is needed to generate unique phys_port_name when PF and SF numbers
are overlapping between local and external controllers.
For example two controllers 0 and 1, both of these controller have a SF.
having PF number 0, SF number 77. Here, phys_port_name has duplicate
entry which doesn't have controller number in it.
Hence, add controller number optionally when a SF port is for an
external controller. This extension is similar to existing PF and VF
eswitch ports of the external controller.
When a SF is for external controller an example view of external SF
port and config sequence:
On eswitch system:
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0033:01:00.0 mode switchdev
$ devlink port show
pci/0033:01:00.0/196607: type eth netdev enP51p1s0f0np0 flavour physical port 0 splittable false

Patch summary:
First 3 patches prepares the eswitch to handle vports in more generic
way using xarray to lookup vport from its unique vport number.
Patch-1 returns maximum eswitch ports only when eswitch is enabled
Patch-2 prepares eswitch to return eswitch max ports from a struct
Patch-3 uses xarray for vport and representor lookup
Patch-4 considers SF for an additioanl range of SF vports
Patch-5 relies on SF hw table to check SF support
Patch-6 extends SF devlink port attribute for external flag
Patch-7 stores the per controller SF allocation attributes
Patch-8 uses SF function id for filtering events
Patch-9 uses helper for allocation and free
Patch-10 splits hw table into per controller table and generic one
Patch-11 extends sf table for additional range
