mainlining shenanigans

Keeping devlink port inside VSI data structure causes some issues. Since VF VSI is released during reset that means that we have to unregister devlink port and register it again every time reset is triggered. With the new changes in devlink API it might cause deadlock issues. After calling devlink_port_register/devlink_port_unregister devlink API is going to lock rtnl_mutex. It's an issue when VF reset is triggered in netlink operation context (like setting VF MAC address or VLAN), because rtnl_lock is already taken by netlink. Another call of rtnl_lock from devlink API results in dead-lock. By moving devlink port to PF/VF we avoid creating/destroying it during reset. Since this patch, devlink ports are created during ice_probe, destroyed during ice_remove for PF and created during ice_repr_add, destroyed during ice_repr_rem for VF.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
