I'm not really a fan of this and I'm not sure there is precedent for
something similar. Also, it's an optimization, so I wouldn't put it as
part of the first submission before you gather some operational
experience with the initial interface.

In addition, I find it very unintuitive for users. When I do 'devlink
trap show' I will not see anything. I will only see the traps when I
issue 'devlink port trap show', yet 'devlink trap set ...' is expected
to work.

Lets assume that this is a valid change, it would be better implemented
with my suggestion from the previous patch: When devlink sees that a
trap is registered on all the ports it can auto-register a new
per-device trap and user space gets the appropriate notification.
