net/mlx5_core: Enable flow steering support for the IB driver
When the driver is loaded, we create flow steering namespace for kernel bypass with nine priorities and another namespace for leftovers(in order to catch packets that weren't matched). Verbs applications will use these priorities. we found nine as a number that balances the requirements from the user and retains performance. The bypass namespace is used by verbs applications that want to bypass the kernel networking stack. The leftovers namespace is used by verbs applications and the sniffer in order to catch packets that weren't handled by any preceding rules.
