Decouple the chains infrastructure from eswitch and make it generic to support other steering namespaces. The change defines an agnostic data structure to keep all the relevant information for maintaining flow table chaining in any steering namespace. Each namespace that requires table chaining will be required to allocate such data structure. The chains creation code will receive the steering namespace and flow table parameters from the caller so it will operate agnosticly when creating the required resources to maintain the table chaining function while Parts of the code that are relevant to eswitch specific functionality are moved to eswitch files.

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.
