cover Representor fixes for BlueField device

Setting BlueField device with representors introduced some corner cases that were overlooked during the development of representors for x86.

This series enables the PMD to run on both x86 and BlueField with representors enabled.

PATCH 1/3 net/mlx5: support missing counter in extended statistics

The current code would fail if one of the counters DPDK counters was not found on the device counters.

As representors and PF port has different counters the both cannot work together.

Addressing this issue by making the counter init more flexible to contain all the counter found and skipping the error.

PATCH 2/3 net/mlx5: add representor specific statistics

In reply to Shahaf Shuler

Representor ports has a different set of extended statistics (as those are logical ports which cannot count all that the PF can).

PATCH 3/3 net/mlx5: always use representor ifindex for ioctl

In reply to Shahaf Shuler

In the current code, on some cases the representor ethdev is using the PF interface to query some link status information or pause parameters.

It was done because in previous kernel versions there was no support from the kernel for the representor info.

Using the PF i/f for such ioctl is error prone and not always working because:
* On some cases there is no PF at all, only representors (e.g Bluefield with host representors)
* Query the up/down status from representor and link status from PF is in-consist
* PF link is down doesn't necessarily means representor is down.
* setting different pause configuration for the PF and the representors will result on undefined behaviour

Making the code cleaner and more robust by using only the representor i/f for the ioctl. whatever the kernel will provide on this query will be used. No need to do W.A. for kernel missing functionality.

Note:
1. Setting pause parameters will obviously won't work on representors
2. Old kernel will not report all the possible representor info

Fixes 2b7302638898 ("net/mlx5: probe all port representors")
