This commit utilize the ability of ConnectX-4 to bulk read flow counters.
Few bulk counter queries could be done instead of issuing thousands of
firmware commands per second to get statistics of all flows set to HW,
such as those programmed when we offload tc filters.
Counters are stored sorted by hardware id, and queried in blocks (id +
number of counters).
Due to hardware requirement, start of block and number of counters in a
block must be four aligned.

In order to use bulk counters, we need to have counters sorted by id.

If a counter has the aging flag set when created, it is added to a list
of counters that will be queried periodically from a workqueue. query
result and last use timestamp are cached.
add/del counter must be very efficient since thousands of such
operations might be issued in a second.
There is only a single reference to counters without aging, therefore
no need for locks.
But, counters with aging enabled are stored in a list. In order to make
code as lockless as possible, all the list manipulation and access to
hardware is done from a single context - the periodic counters query
thread.
The hardware supports multiple counters per FTE, however currently we
are using one counter for each FTE.
