Move the list of next hops from struct mlxsw_sp_rif to mlxsw_sp_crif. The reason is that eventually, next hops for mlxsw uppers should be offloaded and unoffloaded on demand as a netdevice becomes an upper, or stops being one. Currently, next hops are tracked at RIFs, but RIFs do not exist when a netdevice is not an mlxsw uppers. CRIFs are kept track of throughout the netdevice lifetime. Correspondingly, track at each next hop not its RIF, but its CRIF (from which a RIF can always be deduced). Note that now that next hops are tracked at a CRIF, it is not necessary to move each over to a new RIF when it is necessary to edit a RIF. Therefore drop mlxsw_sp_nexthop_rif_migrate() and have mlxsw_sp_rif_migrate_destroy() call mlxsw_sp_nexthop_rif_update() directly.

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.
