selftests: mlxsw: Use shapers in QOS RED tests instead of forcing speed
QOS tests create congestion and verify the switch behavior. To create congestion, they need to have more traffic than the port can handle, so some of them force 1Gbps speed. The tests assume that 1Gbps speed is supported, otherwise, they will fail. Spectrum-4 ASIC will not support this speed in all ports, so to be able to run the tests there, some adjustments are required. Use shapers to limit the traffic instead of forcing speed. Note that for several ports, the speed configuration is just for autoneg issues, so shaper is not needed instead. The tests already use ETS qdisc as a root and RED qdiscs as children. Add a new TBF shaper to limit the rate of traffic, and use it as a root qdisc, then save the previous hierarchy of qdiscs under the new TBF root. In some ASICs, the shapers do not limit the traffic as accurately as forcing speed. To make the tests stable, allow the backlog size to be up to +-10% of the threshold. The aim of the tests is to make sure that with backlog << threshold, there are no drops, and that packets are dropped somewhere in vicinity of the configured threshold.
