net/mlx5_core: Add flow steering base data structures
Introducing the base data structure and its operations that are going to represent ConnectX-4 Flow Steering, this data structure is basically a tree and all Flow steering objects such as (Flow Table/Flow Group/FTE/etc ..) are represented as fs_node(s). fs_node is the base object which describes a basic tree node, with the following extra info: type: describes the runtime type of the node (Object). lock: lock this node sub-tree. ref_count: number of children + current references. remove_func: a generic destructor. fs_node types will be used and explained once the usage is added in the following patches.
