Currently eswitch flow steering (FS) namespace of vport's ingress and egress ACL are enabled when FS layer is initialized. This is done even when eswitch is diabled. This demands that total eswitch ports to be known to FS layer without eswitch in use. Given the FS core is not dependent on eswitch, make namespace init and cleanup routines as helper routines to be invoked only when eswitch is needed. With this change, ingress and egress ACL namespaces are created only when eswitch legacy/offloads mode is enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
