[PATCH] net/mlx5: add support for flows targeting multicast MAC addresses

[Gavin Li]

Rules for multicast MAC addresses are intended to filter multicast traffic
and are managed through multicast MAC add/remove APIs. In mlx5_dev_spawn
function, devices (PF, VFs, and SFs) retrieve the netdev-configured MAC
addresses via netlink and store them in the PMD device data, which
includes multicast MAC addresses.

To update multicast MAC address rules, create them within
mlx5_traffic_enable.
