Improve MCAM visibility and field debugging for CN20K NPC. - Extend "mcam_layout" to show enabled (+) or disabled state per entry so status can be verified without parsing the full "mcam_entry" dump. - Add "dstats" debugfs entry: reports recently hit MCAM indices with packet counts; stats are cleared on read so each read shows deltas. - Add "mismatch" debugfs entry: lists MCAM entries that are enabled but not explicitly allocated, helping diagnose allocation/field issues.
debugfs file which clears state seems quite odd. Does any user need this? This looks like a crutch for badly written tests TBH.
