mlxsw: spectrum: Add ability to query KVDL allocation size
The current KVDL allocation API allows the user to specify the requested number of entries, but the user has no way of knowing how many entries were actually allocated. This works because existing users (e.g., router) request the exact number they end up using. With the introduction of large adjacency groups, this will change, as the router will have the ability to choose from several allocation sizes, where larger allocations provide higher accuracy with respect to requested weights and better resilience against nexthop failures. One option is to have the router try several allocations of descending size until one succeeds, but a better way is to simply allow it to query the actual allocation size and then size its request accordingly.
