Octeontx2-pf: Add support for DMAC_FILTER trap
This patch adds DMAC_FILTER trap support to the octeontx2 driver, allowing
devlink trap statistics to be queried for DMAC filtered packets.

When this function fails after setting pf->dl->trap_data but before returning,
the error paths free trap_data while pf->dl->trap_data still references the
freed memory. Similarly, if kzalloc or kcalloc fails, pf->dl->trap_data remains
NULL. In both cases, the probe error path will call otx2_devlink_traps_unregister()
which dereferences pf->dl->trap_data unconditionally.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If otx2_devlink_traps_register() failed due to allocation failure, trap_data
will be NULL here, causing a NULL pointer dereference below. If registration
failed after pf->dl->trap_data was set, this points to already-freed memory.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When otx2_devlink_traps_register() fails, is it correct to jump to a label
that calls otx2_devlink_traps_unregister()? The registration function already
cleaned up its allocations on failure, so calling unregister here would operate
on invalid or NULL trap_data.
Should the error path skip the unregister call, perhaps by jumping directly to
err_mcam_flow_del instead?
