mlxsw: Handle config changes pertinent to SPAN
For some netdevices, for which mlxsw offloads mirroring, may have a complex relationship between the declared intent and low-level device configuration. Trying to accurately track which changes might influence offloading decisions is finicky and error-prone. Instead, this patch introduces a function mlxsw_sp_span_entry_respin, which re-queries the configuration anew and, if different, removes the existing offloads and installs new ones. Call this function strategically at event handlers that might influence the mirroring configuration.
