Add support for nexthop routes for Marvell Prestera driver.
Subscribe on NEIGH_UPDATE events.

Add features:
- Support connected route adding
e.g.: "ip address add 1.1.1.1/24 dev sw1p1"
e.g.: "ip route add 6.6.6/24 dev sw1p1"
- Support nexthop route adding
e.g.: "ip route add 5.5.5/24 via 1.1.1.2"
- Support ECMP route adding
e.g.: "ip route add 5.5.5/24 nexthop via 1.1.1.2 nexthop via 1.1.1.3"
- Support "offload" and "trap" flags per each nexthop
- Support "offload" flag for neighbours

Limitations:
- Only "local" and "main" tables supported
- Only generic interfaces supported for router (no bridges or vlans)

Flags meaning:
ip route add 5.5.5/24 nexthop via 2.2.2.2 nexthop via 2.2.2.3
ip route show
...
5.5.5.0/24 rt_offload
nexthop via 2.2.2.2 dev sw1p31 weight 1 trap
nexthop via 2.2.2.3 dev sw1p31 weight 1 trap
...
# When you just add route - lpm entry became occupied
# in HW ("rt_offload" flag), but related to nexthops neighbours
# still not resolved ("trap" flag).
#
# After some time...
ip route show
...
5.5.5.0/24 rt_offload
nexthop via 2.2.2.2 dev sw1p31 weight 1 offload
nexthop via 2.2.2.3 dev sw1p31 weight 1 offload
...
# You will see, that appropriate neighbours was resolved and nexthop
# entries occupied in HW too ("offload" flag)

Changes for v2:
* Add more reviewers in CC
* Check if route nexthop or direct with fib_nh_gw_family instead of fib_nh_scope
This is needed after,
747c14307214 ("ip: fix dflt addr selection for connected nexthop"),
because direct route is now with the same scope as nexthop (RT_SCOPE_LINK)

Changes for v3:
* Resolve "unused functions" warnings, after
patch ("net: marvell: prestera: Add heplers to interact ... "), and before
patch ("net: marvell: prestera: Add neighbour cache accounting")

Changes for v4:
* Rebase to the latest master to resolve patch applying issues

Changes for v5:
* Repack structures to prevent holes
* Remove unused variables
* Fix misspeling issues
