e808190a59 Add kernel and userspace code to dump the firmware state of supported
ConnectX-4/5 devices in mlx5core.

The dump is obtained by reading a predefined register map from the
non-destructive crspace, accessible by the vendor-specific PCIe
capability (VSC). The dump is stored in preallocated kernel memory and
managed by the mlx5tool(8), which communicates with the driver using a
character device node.

The utility allows to store the dump in format
    <address> <value>
into a file, to reset the dump content, and to manually initiate the
dump.

A call to mlx5_fwdump() should be added at the places where a dump
must be fetched automatically. The most likely place is right before a
firmware reset request.
