mlxsw: core: Unpublish devlink parameters during reload

Browse Source 
The devlink parameter "acl_region_rehash_interval" is a runtime
parameter whose value is stored in a dynamically allocated memory. While
reloading the driver, this memory is freed and then allocated again. A
use-after-free might happen if during this time frame someone tries to
retrieve its value.

Since commit 070c63f20f ("net: devlink: allow to change namespaces
during reload") the use-after-free can be reliably triggered when
reloading the driver into a namespace, as after freeing the memory (via
reload_down() callback) all the parameters are notified.

Fix this by unpublishing and then re-publishing the parameters during
reload.

Fixes: 98bbf70c1c ("mlxsw: spectrum: add "acl_region_rehash_interval" devlink param")
Fixes: 7c62cfb8c5 ("devlink: publish params only after driver init is done")
