switchdev: documentation: use switchdev_port_obj_xxx for IPv4 FIB add/modify/delete ops 

Clarify in documentation and code that IPV4 FIB add operation is used for
both adding a new FIB entry to the device and for modifying an existing FIB
entry on the device.

Also, remove left-over references to ipv4_fib ops and replace with details
on SWITCHDEV_PORT_IPV4_FIB object.

L3 routing
----------
L3 Routing Offload
------------------
Offloading L3 routing requires that device be programmed with FIB entries from
the kernel, with the device doing the FIB lookup and forwarding. The device
does a longest prefix match (LPM) on FIB entries matching route prefix and
forwards the packet to the matching FIB entry's nexthop(s) egress ports. To
program the device, the switchdev driver is called with add/delete ops for IPv4
and IPv6 FIB entries. For IPv4, the driver implements switchdev ops:
forwards the packet to the matching FIB entry's nexthop(s) egress ports.
int (*switchdev_fib_ipv4_add)(struct net_device *dev,
__be32 dst, int dst_len,
struct fib_info *fi,
u8 tos, u8 type,
u32 nlflags, u32 tb_id);
To program the device, the driver implements support for
SWITCHDEV_OBJ_IPV[4|6]_FIB object using switchdev_port_obj_xxx ops.
switchdev_port_obj_add is used for both adding a new FIB entry to the device,
or modifying an existing entry on the device.
int (*switchdev_fib_ipv4_del)(struct net_device *dev,
__be32 dst, int dst_len,
struct fib_info *fi,
u8 tos, u8 type,
u32 tb_id);
XXX: Currently, only SWITCHDEV_OBJ_IPV4_FIB objects are supported.
to add/delete IPv4 dst/dest_len prefix on table tb_id. The *fi structure holds
details on the route and route's nexthops. *dev is one of the port netdevs
mentioned in the routes next hop list. If the output port netdevs referenced
in the route's nexthop list don't all have the same switch ID, the driver is
not called to add/delete the FIB entry.
SWITCHDEV_OBJ_IPV4_FIB object passes:
struct switchdev_obj_ipv4_fib { /* IPV4_FIB */
u32 dst;
int dst_len;
struct fib_info *fi;
u8 tos;
u8 type;
u32 nlflags;
u32 tb_id;
} ipv4_fib;
to add/modify/delete IPv4 dst/dest_len prefix on table tb_id. The *fi
structure holds details on the route and route's nexthops. *dev is one of the
port netdevs mentioned in the routes next hop list. If the output port netdevs
referenced in the route's nexthop list don't all have the same switch ID, the
driver is not called to add/modify/delete the FIB entry.
Routes offloaded to the device are labeled with "offload" in the ip route
listing:
