Subject: [PATCH] [v2] mlx5: reduce stack usage in mlx5_setup_tc

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Clang warns about excessive stack usage on 32-bit targets:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.c:3597:12: error: stack frame size (1184) exceeds limit (1024) in 'mlx5e_setup_tc' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
static int mlx5e_setup_tc(struct net_device *dev, enum tc_setup_type type,

It turns out that both the mlx5e_setup_tc_mqprio_dcb() function and
the mlx5e_safe_switch_params() function it calls have a copy of
'struct mlx5e_params' on the stack, and this structure is fairly
large.

Use dynamic allocation for the inner one.
