[PATCH net-next mlxsw v2 4/4] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Optimize processing of VRRP MACs

Hosts using a VRRP router send their packets with a destination MAC of
the VRRP router which is of the following form [1]:

IPv4 - 00-00-5E-00-01-{VRID}
IPv6 - 00-00-5E-00-02-{VRID}

Where VRID is the ID of the virtual router. Such packets are directed to
the router block in the ASIC by an FDB entry that was added in the
previous patch.

However, in certain cases it is possible to skip this FDB lookup and
send such packets directly to the router. This is accomplished by adding
these special MAC addresses to the RIF cache. If the cache is hit, the
packet will skip the L2 lookup and ingress the router with the RIF
specified in the cache entry.

Notes:
    v2:
    * Change wording
    * Note that VRRP fields are reserved for RIF types other than Sub-port, VLAN
      and FID
    * Consolidate mlxsw_sp_rif_vrrp_add and mlxsw_sp_rif_vrrp_del() into one
      function
