cover net: mana: Fix debugfs directory naming and file lifecycle

This series fixes two pre-existing debugfs issues in the MANA driver.

Patch 1 fixes the per-device debugfs directory naming to use the unique PCI BDF address via pci_name(), avoiding a potential NULL pointer dereference when pdev->slot is NULL (e.g. VFIO passthrough, nested KVM) and preventing name collisions across multiple PFs or VFs.

Patch 2 moves the current_speed debugfs file creation from mana_probe_port() to mana_init_port() so it survives detach/attach cycles triggered by MTU changes or XDP program changes.

net: mana: Use pci_name() for debugfs directory naming
net: mana: Move current_speed debugfs file to mana_init_port()

PATCH 1/2 net: mana: Use pci_name() for debugfs directory naming

Use pci_name(pdev) for the per-device debugfs directory instead of hardcoded "0" for PFs and pci_slot_name(pdev->slot) for VFs. The previous approach had two issues:

1. pci_slot_name() dereferences pdev->slot, which can be NULL for VFs in environments like generic VFIO passthrough or nested KVM, causing a NULL pointer dereference.

2. Multiple PFs would all use "0", and VFs across different PCI domains or buses could share the same slot name, leading to -EEXIST errors from debugfs_create_dir().

pci_name(pdev) returns the unique BDF address, is always valid, and is unique across the system.

Fixes 6607c17c6c5e ("net: mana: Enable debugfs files for MANA device")

PATCH 2/2 net: mana: Move current_speed debugfs file to mana_init_port()

In reply to Erni Sri Satya Vennela

Move the current_speed debugfs file creation from mana_probe_port() to mana_init_port(). The file was previously created only during initial probe, but mana_cleanup_port_context() removes the entire vPort debugfs directory during detach/attach cycles. Since mana_init_port() recreates the directory on re-attach, moving current_speed here ensures it survives these cycles.
