net/mlx5_core: Add flow steering lookup algorithms
Introduce the flow steering mlx5_flow_namespace (Namespace) and fs_prio (Flow Steering Priority) tree nodes. Namespaces are used in order to isolate different usages or types of steering (for example, downstream patches will add a different namespaces for the NIC driver and for E-Switch FDB usages). Flow Steering Priorities are objects that describes priorities ranges between different flow objects under the same namespace. Example, entries in priority i are matched before entries in priority i+1. This patch adds the following algorithms: 1) Calculate level: Each flow table has level(the priority between the flow tables). When we initialize the flow steering tree, we assign range of levels to each priority, therefore the level for new flow table is the location within the priority related to the range of the priority. 2) Match between match criteria. This function is used for searching flow group when new flow rule is added. 3) Match between match values. This function is used for searching flow table entry when new flow rule is added. 4) Add essential macros for traversing on a node's children.
