Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] net/mlx5: Fix Unbinding uplink-netdev in switchdev mode

From: Shay Drory <shayd@...dia.com>

It is possible to unbind the uplink ETH driver while the E-Switch is
in switchdev mode. This leads to netdevice reference counting issues[1],
as the driver removal path was not designed to clean up from this state.

During uplink ETH driver removal (_mlx5e_remove), the code now waits for
any concurrent E-Switch mode transition to finish. It then removes the
REPs auxiliary device, if exists. This ensures a graceful cleanup.

unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth2 to become free. Usage count = 2
