[Bridge] [PATCH net-next 3/4] bridge: mrp: Extend br_mrp_switchdev to detect better the errors

This patch extends the br_mrp_switchdev functions to be able to have a
better understanding what cause the issue and if the SW needs to be used
as a backup.

There are the following cases:
- when the code is compiled without CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV. In this case
  return success so the SW can continue with the protocol. Depending on
  the function it returns 0 or BR_MRP_SW.
- when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the driver doesn't
  implement any MRP callbacks, then the HW can't run MRP so it just
  returns -EOPNOTSUPP. So the SW will stop further to configure the
  node.
- when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the driver fully
  supports any MRP functionality then the SW doesn't need to do
  anything.  The functions will return 0 or BR_MRP_HW.
- when code is compiled with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and the HW can't run
  completely the protocol but it can help the SW to run it.  For
  example, the HW can't support completely MRM role(can't detect when it
  stops receiving MRP Test frames) but it can redirect these frames to
  CPU. In this case it is possible to have a SW fallback. The SW will
  try initially to call the driver with sw_backup set to false, meaning
  that the HW can implement completely the role. If the driver returns
  -EOPNOTSUPP, the SW will try again with sw_backup set to false,
  meaning that the SW will detect when it stops receiving the frames. In
  case the driver returns 0 then the SW will continue to configure the
  node accordingly.

In this way is more clear when the SW needs to stop configuring the
node, or when the SW is used as a backup or the HW can implement the
functionality.
