Moshe Shemesh 0e6c95c988 net/mlx5: Support devlink port state for host PF
Add support for devlink port function state get/set operations for the
host physical function (PF). Until now, mlx5 only allowed state get/set
for subfunctions (SFs) ports. This change enables an administrator with
eSwitch manager privileges to query or modify the host PF’s function
state, allowing it to be explicitly inactivated or activated. While
inactivated, the administrator can modify the functions attributes, such
as enable/disable roce.

$ devlink port show pci/0000:03:00.0/196608
pci/0000:03:00.0/196608: type eth netdev eth1 flavour pcipf controller 1 pfnum 0 external true splittable false
  function:
    hw_addr a0:88:c2:45:17:7c state active opstate attached roce enable max_io_eqs 120
$ devlink port function set pci/0000:03:00.0/196608 state inactive
$ devlink port show pci/0000:03:00.0/196608
