4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Bodong Wang <bodong@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 4e046de0f50e04acd48eb373d6a9061ddf014e0c ]
This reverts commit 5f5991f36dce1e69dd8bd7495763eec2e28f08e7.
With the original commit, eswitch instance will not be initialized for
a function which is vport group manager but not eswitch manager such as
host PF on SmartNIC (BlueField) card. This will result in a kernel crash
when such a vport group manager is trying to access vports in its group.
E.g, PF vport manager (not eswitch manager) tries to configure the MAC
of its VF vport, a kernel trace will happen similar as bellow:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
...
RIP: 0010:mlx5_eswitch_get_vport_config+0xc/0x180 [mlx5_core]
...
Fixes: 5f5991f36dce ("net/mlx5e: E-Switch, Initialize eswitch only if eswitch manager")
