Subject: net/mlx5e: Register/unregister vport representors on interface attach/detach

From: Saeed Mahameed <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 6f08a22c5fb2b9aefb8ecd8496758e7a677c1fde ]

Currently vport representors are added only on driver load and removed on driver unload. Apparently we forgot to handle them when we added the seamless reset flow feature. This caused to leave the representors netdevs alive and active with open HW resources on pci shutdown and on error reset flows.

To overcome this we move their handling to interface attach/detach, so they would be cleaned up on shutdown and recreated on reset flows.
