[PATCH 6/9] net/mlx5: lazily allocate HWS push VLAN action

Wed Feb 25 12:59:14 CET 2026
HWS push_vlan action is used to implement OF_PUSH_VLAN rte_flow action.
It was allocated either on port start or on rte_flow_configure().
This could cause unnecessary FW resource usage
if user did not use any OF_PUSH_VLAN action.
This patch extends global actions internal API,
introduced in previous commits, to allow lazy allocation
of HWS push_vlan action. It will be allocated on first use
and will be allocated per domain to minimize FW resource usage.
