Benjamin Poirier 52c4beb79e net/mlx5: Fix bridge mode operations when there are no VFs
[ Upstream commit b1d305abef4640af1b4f1b4774d513cd81b10cfc ]

Currently, trying to set the bridge mode attribute when numvfs=0 leads to a
crash:

bridge link set dev eth2 hwmode vepa

(esw->fdb_table.legacy.vepa_fdb is null)

The bridge mode is only relevant when there are multiple functions per
port. Therefore, prevent setting and getting this setting when there are no
VFs.

Note that after this change, there are no settings to change on the PF
interface using `bridge link` when there are no VFs, so the interface no
longer appears in the `bridge link` output.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
