net/nebula-matrix: dispatch: add cross-version channel message framework
    
Implement bidirectional channel request/response RPC handlers for 5 dispatch
resource operations: get_vsi_id, get_eth_id, configure_msix_map,
destroy_msix_map, set_mailbox_irq.

[Severity: High]
Does nbl_disp_configure_msix_map() need to take a mutex lock before invoking
res_ops->configure_msix_map()?

Calling this resource operation without synchronization might lead to data races
and hardware state corruption if multiple requests arrive simultaneously.

[Severity: High]
Should nbl_disp_chan_configure_msix_map_resp() also use locking when invoking
res_ops->configure_msix_map()?

Since this response handler can run from a workqueue context concurrently with
other operations, this might also lead to hardware state corruption.

[Severity: High]
Similarly, should nbl_disp_chan_set_mailbox_irq_resp() be protected by a lock
when modifying the mailbox IRQ hardware state?

[Severity: High]
Does the dispatch operations table remain uninitialized for non-control PFs
here?

Since nbl_disp_setup_ctrl_lvl() is responsible for populating the disp_ops
table (including setting up the remote message request handlers as fallbacks
when testing control levels), skipping this step when common->has_ctrl is false
might leave the function pointers as NULL.

Could this lead to a NULL pointer dereference when a regular non-control PF
subsequently attempts to invoke a dispatch operation like get_vsi_id or
get_eth_id?
