net/mlx5: E-Switch, reserve and use same uplink metadata across ports

When in switchdev mode wire traffic will hit the FDB in one of two
scenarios.

- Shared FDB, in that case traffic from both physical ports should be
  tagged by the same metadata value so a single FDB rule could catch
  traffic from both ports.

- Two E-Switches, traffic from each physical port will hit the native
  E-Switch which means traffic from one physical port can't reach the
  E-Switch of the other one.

Looking at those two scenarios it means we can always use the same metadata
value to tag wire traffic regardless of the mode.

Reserve a single metadata value to be used to tag wire traffic.
