dpaa2-switch: offload port objects on an upper bond device

This patch adds support for offloading port objects, VLANs and MDBs,
added on upper bond devices. It introduces switchdev_handle_*() replication
helpers for port objects and a refcount mechanism for handling MDBs in bond
devices.

Does this incorrectly block valid MDB additions for the same MAC address but
different VLAN IDs?

Looking at dpaa2_switch_port_lookup_address(), it checks the VLAN-unaware
netdev->mc list. If an MDB with the same MAC but different VID is added,
it returns -EEXIST.

Later, if the user attempts to delete the un-added MDB,
dpaa2_switch_port_mdb_del() finds the MAC from the first MDB, skips hardware
removal due to VID mismatch, and successfully calls dev_mc_del(). 

When the legitimate MDB is later deleted, the lookup fails with -ENOENT,
skipping dpaa2_switch_lag_fdb_del() and permanently leaking the dynamically
allocated struct dpaa2_mac_addr and the hardware FDB entry.

[Severity: High]
Does returning an error here abort the switchdev_handle_port_obj_del()
replication loop for the remaining bond slaves?

This patch uses switchdev_handle_port_obj_del() to replicate object
deletions across all slave devices. If a driver callback returns an error
other than -EOPNOTSUPP on one of the slaves, the replication loop aborts,
skipping all remaining slaves.

For example, dpaa2_switch_port_mdb_del() returns -ENOENT if the MAC is not
found, and dpaa2_switch_port_vlans_del() propagates hardware deletion errors.

Will this leave the remaining slave ports with stale VLANs and MDBs fully
active in software and hardware, causing silent data leaks and inconsistent
state?

[Severity: High]
Can this code leak memory and hardware MDBs when a slave leaves a bond?

When switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() replicates MDB additions across all
bond slaves, it increments the a->refcount in lag->fdbs for each slave. 

If a slave leaves the bond (e.g., via ip link set eth1 nomaster), shouldn't
dpaa2_switch_port_bond_leave() be updated to decrement the slave's share
of the MDB refcounts?

Without this, when the bond is later removed from the bridge,
SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_DEL replicates only over the remaining slaves. The MDB
refcounts will not reach zero because the decrements from the departed
slaves are permanently lost. This would leak struct dpaa2_mac_addr memory
and leave the hardware MDB permanently programmed on the LAG.
