To support sriov on a E-Switch manager, num_vfs are queried
to the firmware whenever E-Switch manager is notified by
esw_functions_changed event.
Replace host_params event with esw_functions_changed event that reflects
more appropriate naming.
While at it, also correct num_vfs type from int to u16 as expected by
the function mlx5_esw_query_functions().

The QUERY_HOST_PARAMS command is used by an Embedded CPU Physical
Function (ECPF) driver to identify and retrieve information about the
PF on the host side. E.g, number of virtual functions and PCI BDF.
The number of VFs can be changed on the fly, a function is added to
query current number of VFs and will be used in downstream patches.

With the introduction of ECPF, we require that the ECPF driver will
aways call enable/disable HCA for that PF in the same way a PF does
this for its VFs. The PF is still responsible for calling enable and
disable HCA for its VFs.
To distinguish between the ECPF executing enable/disable HCA for
itself or for the PF, it sets the embedded CPU function bit in the
input params struct of these commands. When the bit is cleared and
function ID is zero, it refers to the peer PF.

Mellanox's SmartNIC combines embedded CPU(e.g, ARM) processing power
with advanced network offloads to accelerate a multitude of security,
networking and storage applications.
With the introduction of the SmartNIC, there is a new PCI function
called Embedded CPU Physical Function(ECPF). And it's possible for a
PF to get its ICM pages from the ECPF PCI function. Driver shall
identify if it is running on such a function by reading a bit in
the initialization segment.
When firmware asks for pages, it would issue a page request event
specifying how many pages it requests and for which function. That
driver responds with a manage_pages command providing the requested
pages along with an indication for which function it is providing these
pages.
The encoding before this patch was as follows:
function_id == 0: pages are requested for the function receiving
the EQE.
function_id != 0: pages are requested for VF identified by the
function_id value
A new one bit field in the EQE identifies that pages are requested for
the ECPF.
The notion of page_supplier can be introduced here and to support that,
manage pages and query pages were modified so firmware can distinguish
the following cases:
1. Function provides pages for itself
2. PF provides pages for its VF
3. ECPF provides pages to itself
4. ECPF provides pages for another function
This distinction is possible through the introduction of the bit
"embedded_cpu_function" in query_pages, manage_pages and page request
EQE.
