Functions change event output data size changes when functions other than VFs will be enabled in HCA CAP. With current API, multiple callers needs to align, calculate accurate size of the output data depending on number on non VF functions enabled in the device. Instead of duplicating such math at multiple places, refactor mlx5_esw_query_functions() to return raw output allocated by itself. Caller must free the allocated memory using kvfree() as described in the function comment section. This hides calcuation within mlx5_esw_query_functions() and provides simpler API.

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.
