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

Add support for devlink reload level 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.
