Subject: [net-next 10/14] net/mlx5: DR, Allocate icm_chunks from their own slab allocator

From: Yevgeny Kliteynik <kliteyn@...dia.com>

SW steering allocates/frees lots of icm_chunk structs. To make this more
efficiently, create a separate kmem_cache and allocate these chunks from
this allocator.
By doing this we observe that the alloc/free "hiccups" frequency has
become much lower, which allows for a more steady rule insersion rate.
