octeontx2-af: npc: cn20k: virtual index support

This patch adds virtual MCAM index allocation support for CN20K,
enabling defragmentation by allowing entries to be moved while
maintaining stable virtual indexes for callers.

The rollback at fail1 appears to operate on the wrong XArray. When
xa_insert() fails above and we jump to fail1, the xa_idx2vidx_map still
contains old_midx since the erase of xa_idx2vidx_map has not executed yet.
This xa_insert() will return -EBUSY because the key already exists.

Should this instead restore vidx to xa_vidx2idx_map with the original
old_midx value, since that was the map modified before the failure?
