net/mlx5: E-switch, Use PF num in metadata reg c0
Currently only 256 vports can be supported as only 8 bits are reserved for them and 8 bits are reserved for vhca_ids in metadata reg c0. To support more than 256 vports, replace vhca_id with a unique shorter 4-bit PF number which covers upto 16 PF's. Use remaining 12 bits for vports ranging 1-4095. This will continue to generate unique metadata even if multiple PCI devices have same switch_id.
