Subject: [PATCH net-next RFC v2 12/13] net/mlx5: Add support for devlink reload action live patch

Add support for devlink reload action fw_live_patch which does live
patching to firmware.
The driver checks if the firmware is capable of handling the pending
firmware changes as a live patch. If it is then it triggers
fw_live_patch flow.

v1 -> v2:
- Have fw_live_patch action instead of level
