This patch adds the infrastructure to offload flows to hardware, in case
the nic/switch comes with built-in flow tables capabilities.
If the hardware comes with no hardware flow tables or they have
limitations in terms of features, the existing infrastructure falls back
to the software flow table implementation.
The software flow table garbage collector skips entries that resides in
the hardware, so the hardware will be responsible for releasing this
flow table entry too via flow_offload_dead().
Hardware configuration, either to add or to delete entries, is done from
the hardware offload workqueue, to ensure this is done from user context
given that we may sleep when grabbing the mdio mutex.

v4: More work in progress
- Decouple nf_flow_table_hw from nft_flow_offload via rcu hooks
- Consolidate ->ndo invocations, now they happen from the hw worker.
- Fix bug in list handling, use list_replace_init()
- cleanup entries on nf_flow_table_hw module removal
- add NFT_FLOWTABLE_F_HW flag to flowtables to explicit signal that user wants
to offload entries to hardware.
