    net/mlx5: Add fast unload support in shutdown flow · 8812c24d

    Adding a support to flush all HW resources with one FW command and
    skip all the heavy unload flows of the driver on kernel shutdown.
    There's no need to free all the SW context since a new fresh kernel
    will be loaded afterwards.
    
    Regarding the FW resources, they should be closed, otherwise we will
    have leakage in the FW. To accelerate this flow, we execute one command
    in the beginning that tells the FW that the driver isn't going to close
    any of the FW resources and asks the FW to clean up everything.
    Once the commands complete, it's safe to close the PCI resources and
    finish the routine.
