net/mlx5: Lag, use buckets in hash mode

When in hardware lag and the NIC has more than 2 ports when one port
goes down need to distribute the traffic between the remaining
active ports.

For better spread in such cases instead of using 1-to-1 mapping and only
4 slots in the hash, use many.

Each port will have many slots that point to it. When a port goes down
go over all the slots that pointed to that port and spread them between
the remaining active ports. Once the port comes back restore the default
mapping.

We will have number_of_ports * MLX5_LAG_MAX_HASH_BUCKETS slots.
Each MLX5_LAG_MAX_HASH_BUCKETS belong to a different port.
The native mapping is such that:

port 1: The first MLX5_LAG_MAX_HASH_BUCKETS slots are: [1, 1, .., 1]
which means if a packet is hased into one of this slots it will hit the
wire via port 1.

port 2: The second MLX5_LAG_MAX_HASH_BUCKETS slots are: [2, 2, .., 2]
which means if a packet is hased into one of this slots it will hit the
wire via port2.

and this mapping is the same of the rest of the ports.
On a failover, lets say port 2 goes down (port 1, 3, 4 are still up).
the new mapping for port 2 will be:

port 2: The second MLX5_LAG_MAX_HASH_BUCKETS are: [1, 3, 1, 4, .., 4]
which means the mapping was changed from the native mapping to a mapping
that consists of only the active ports.

With this if a port goes down the traffic will be split between the
active ports randomly
