selftests: mlxsw: Add a test for UC behavior under MC flood



A so-called "MC-aware" mode has recently been enabled in mlxsw. In
MC-aware mode, BUM traffic is handled in a special way so that when a
switch is flooded with BUM, UC performance isn't unduly impacted.
Without enablement of this mode, a stream of BUM traffic can cause
sustained UC throughput drop in excess of 99 %.

Add a test for this behavior. Compare how much UC throughput degrades as
a stream of broadcast frames floods the switch. A minimal degradation is
tolerated to cover for glitches in traffic injection performance.

# A test for switch behavior under MC overload. An issue in Spectrum chips
# causes throughput of UC traffic to drop severely when a switch is under heavy
# MC load. This issue can be overcome by putting the switch to MC-aware mode.
# This test verifies that UC performance stays intact even as the switch is
# under MC flood, and therefore that the MC-aware mode is enabled and correctly
# configured.
#
# Because mlxsw throttles CPU port, the traffic can't actually reach userspace
# at full speed. That makes it impossible to use iperf3 to simply measure the
# throughput, because many packets (that reach $h3) don't get to the kernel at
# all even in UDP mode (the situation is even worse in TCP mode, where one can't
# hope to see more than a couple Mbps).
#
# So instead we send traffic with mausezahn and use RX ethtool counters at $h3.
# Multicast traffic is untagged, unicast traffic is tagged with PCP 1. Therefore
# each gets a different priority and we can use per-prio ethtool counters to
# measure the throughput. In order to avoid prioritizing unicast traffic, prio
# qdisc is installed on $swp3 and maps all priorities to the same band #7 (and
# thus TC 0).
#
# Mausezahn can't actually saturate the links unless it's using large frames.
# Thus we set MTU to 10K on all involved interfaces. Then both unicast and
# multicast traffic uses 8K frames.
