octeontx2-af: npc: cn20k: virtual index support

This patch adds virtual MCAM index allocation and improves CN20K MCAM
defragmentation. Virtual indexes allow the hardware to move mapped
MCAM entries internally while presenting stable indexes to callers.

                ^^^^^^^^^^

If xa_insert() fails here, the entry allocated by xa_alloc() in
xa_vidx2idx_map is not cleaned up. Should there be an xa_erase() call
to remove the allocated entry before returning the error?

The rvu_af_dl_param_defrag parameters are registered here for CN20K
devices, but rvu_unregister_dl() does not have a corresponding
devlink_params_unregister() call for these parameters. Should there be
a matching unregister call similar to the exact_match handling?
