Add a pool of flow counters, based on flow counter bulks, removing the need to allocate a new counter via a costly FW command during the flow creation process. The time it takes to acquire/release a flow counter is cut from ~50 [us] to ~50 [ns]. The pool is part of the mlx5 driver instance, and provides flow counters for aging flows. mlx5_fc_create() was modified to provide counters for aging flows from the pool by default, and mlx5_destroy_fc() was modified to release counters back to the pool for later reuse. If bulk allocation is not supported or fails, and for non-aging flows, the fallback behavior is to allocate and free individual counters. The pool is comprised of three lists of flow counter bulks, one of fully used bulks, one of partially used bulks, and one of unused bulks. Counters are provided from the partially used bulks first, to help limit bulk fragmentation. The pool maintains a threshold, and strives to maintain the amount of available counters below it. The pool is increased in size when a counter acquisition request is made and there are no available counters, and it is decreased in size when the last counter in a bulk is released and there are more available counters than the threshold. All pool size changes are done in the context of the acquiring/releasing process. The value of the threshold is directly correlated to the amount of used counters the pool is providing, while constrained by a hard maximum, and is recalculated every time a bulk is allocated/freed. This ensures that the pool only consumes large amounts of memory for available counters if the pool is being used heavily. When fully populated and at the hard maximum, the buffer of available counters consumes ~40 [MB].
