Downstream patches add another lag related file so it makes
sense to have all the lag files in a dedicated directory.

When handling FIB_EVENT_ENTRY_REPLACE event for a new multipath route,
lag activation can be missed if a stale (struct lag_mp)->mfi pointer
exists, which was associated with an older multipath route that had been
removed.
Normally, when a route is removed, it triggers mlx5_lag_fib_event(),
which handles FIB_EVENT_ENTRY_DEL and clears mfi pointer. But, if
mlx5_lag_check_prereq() condition isn't met, for example when eswitch is
in legacy mode, the fib event is skipped and mfi pointer becomes stale.
Fix by resetting mfi pointer to NULL in mlx5_deactivate_lag().

In VF lag mode when remove the bonding module without bring down the
bond device first, we could potentially have circular dependency when we
unload IB devices and also handle fib events:
1. The bond work starts first;
2. The "modprobe -rv bonding" process tries to release the bond device,
with the "pernet_ops_rwsem" lock hold;
3. The bond work blocks in unregister_netdevice_notifier() and waits for
the lock because fib event came right before;
4. The kernel fib module tries to free all the fib entries by broadcasting
the "FIB_EVENT_NH_DEL" event;
5. Upon the fib event this lag_mp module holds the fib lock and queue a
fib work.
So:
bond work -> modprobe task -> kernel fib module -> lag_mp -> bond work
Today we either reload IB devices in roce lag in nic mode or either handle
fib events in switchdev mode, but a new feature could change that we'll
need to reload IB devices also in switchdev mode so this is a future proof
fix as one may not notice this later.

Instead of using explicit indexes, simply use affinity
type enumerators to make the code more readable.

To support multipath offload we are going to track SW multipath route
and related nexthops. To do that we register to FIB notifier and handle
the route and next-hops events and reflect that as port affinity to HW.
When there is a new multipath route entry that all next-hops are the
ports of an HCA we will activate LAG in HW.
Egress wise, we use HW LAG as the means to emulate multipath on current
HW which doesn't support port selection based on xmit hash. In the
presence of multiple VFs which use multiple SQs (send queues) this
yields fairly good distribution.
HA wise, HW LAG buys us the ability for a given RQ (receive queue) to
receive traffic from both ports and for SQs to migrate xmitting over
the active port if their base port fails.
When the route entry is being updated to single path we will update
the HW port affinity to use that port only.
If a next-hop becomes dead we update the HW port affinity to the living
port.
When all next-hops are alive again we reset the affinity to default.
Due to FW/HW limitations, when a route is deleted we are not disabling
the HW LAG since doing so will not allow us to enable it again while
VFs are bounded. Typically this is just a temporary state when a
routing daemon removes dead routes and later adds them back as needed.
This patch only handles events for AF_INET.
