Hi Wenxu,

I wonder if this can be resolved by using the cb_ident field of struct
flow_block_cb.

I observe that mlx5e_rep_indr_setup_block() seems to be the only call-site
where the value of the cb_ident parameter of flow_block_cb_alloc() is
per-block rather than per-device. So part of my proposal is to change
that.

The other part of my proposal is to make use of cb_ident in
__flow_block_indr_cleanup(). Which does seem to match the intended
purpose of cb_ident. Perhaps it would also be good to document what
the intended purpose of cb_ident (and the other fields of struct
flow_block_cb) is.

Compile tested only.
