net/mlx5e: reduce rep rxq depth to 256 for ECPF

By experiments, a single queue representor netdev consumes kernel
memory around 2.8MB, and 1.8MB out of the 2.8MB is due to page
pool for the RXQ. Scaling to a thousand representors consumes 2.8GB,
which becomes a memory pressure issue for embedded devices such as
BlueField-2 16GB / BlueField-3 32GB memory.

Since representor netdevs mostly handles miss traffic, and ideally,
most of the traffic will be offloaded, reduce the default non-uplink
rep netdev's RXQ default depth from 1024 to 256 if mdev is ecpf eswitch
manager. This saves around 1MB of memory per regular RQ,
(1024 - 256) * 2KB, allocated from page pool.

With rxq depth of 256, the netlink page pool tool reports
$./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
	 --dump page-pool-get
 {'id': 277,
  'ifindex': 9,
  'inflight': 128,
  'inflight-mem': 786432,
  'napi-id': 775}]

This is due to mtu 1500 + headroom consumes half pages, so 256 rxq
entries consumes around 128 pages (thus create a page pool with
size 128), shown above at inflight.

Note that each netdev has multiple types of RQs, including
Regular RQ, XSK, PTP, Drop, Trap RQ. Since non-uplink representor
only supports regular rq, this patch only changes the regular RQ's
default depth.
