Adding support to perform CT related tc actions and matching on CT states for nic flows. The ct flows management and handling will be done using a new instance of the ct database that is declared in this patch to keep it separate from the eswitch ct flows database. Offloading and unoffloading ct flows will be done using the existing ct offload api by providing it the relevant ct database reference in each mode. In addition, refactoring the tc ct api is introduced to make it agnostic to the flow type and perform the resource allocations and rule insertion to the proper steering domain in the device. In the initialization call, the api requests and stores in the ct database instance all the relevant information that distinguishes between nic flows and esw flows, such as chains database, steering namespace and mod hdr table. This way the operations of adding and removing ct flows to the device can later performed agnostically to the flow type.

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.
