When an ste hash table has too many collision we enlarge it
to a bigger hash table (rehash). Rehashing collision improvement
depends on the bytemask value. The more 1 bits we have in bytemask
means better spreading in the table.
Without this fix tables can grow in size without providing any
improvement which can lead to memory depletion and failures.
This patch will limit table rehash to reduce memory and improve
the performance.

Duplicate rules were not allowed to be configured with SW steering.
This restriction caused failures with the replace rule logic done by
upper layers.
This fix allows for multiple rules with the same match values, in
such case the first inserted rules will match.

When we free an STE and the STE is in the middle of collision
list, the prev_ste was obtained incorrectly from the list.
To avoid such issues list_entry calls replaced with standard list API.

Rules are the actual objects that tie matchers, header values and
actions. Each rule belongs to a matcher, which can hold multiple rules
sharing the same mask. Each rule is a specific set of values and
actions.
When a packet reaches a matcher it is being matched against the
matcher`s rules. In case of a match over a rule its actions will be
executed. Each rule object contains a set of STEs, where each STE is a
definition of match values and actions defined by the rule.
This file handles the rule operations and processing.
