net: dsa: felix: create a template for the DSA tags on xmit

With this patch we try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

First of all, some switches that use tag_ocelot.c don't have the exact
same bitfield layout for the DSA tags. The destination ports field is
different for Seville VSC9953 for example. So the choices are to either
duplicate tag_ocelot.c into a new tag_seville.c (sub-optimal) or somehow
take into account a supposed ocelot->dest_ports_offset when packing this
field into the DSA injection header (again not ideal).

Secondly, tag_ocelot.c already needs to memset a 128-bit area to zero
and call some packing() functions of dubious performance in the
fastpath. And most of the values it needs to pack are pretty much
constant (BYPASS=1, SRC_PORT=CPU, DEST=port index). So it would be good
if we could improve that.

The proposed solution is to allocate a memory area per port at probe
time, initialize that with the statically defined bits as per chip
hardware revision, and just perform a simpler memcpy in the fastpath.

Other alternatives have been analyzed, such as:
- Create a separate tag_seville.c: too much code duplication for just 1
  bit field difference.
- Create a separate DSA_TAG_PROTO_SEVILLE under tag_ocelot.c, just like
  tag_brcm.c, which would have a separate .xmit function. Again, too
  much code duplication for just 1 bit field difference.
- Allocate the template from the init function of the tag_ocelot.c
  module, instead of from the driver: couldn't figure out a method of
  accessing the correct port template corresponding to the correct
  tagger in the .xmit function.
