Subject: [PATCH 5.12 140/173] RDMA/mlx5: Block FDB rules when not in switchdev mode

From: Mark Bloch <mbloch@...dia.com>

commit edc0b0bccc9c80d9a44d3002dcca94984b25e7cf upstream.

Allow creating FDB steering rules only when in switchdev mode.

The only software model where a userspace application can manipulate
FDB entries is when it manages the eswitch. This is only possible in
switchdev mode where we expose a single RDMA device with representors
for all the vports that are connected to the eswitch.

Fixes: 52438be44112 ("RDMA/mlx5: Allow inserting a steering rule to the FDB")
