ocetontx2-af: npc: cn20k: MKEX profile support

This patch adds MKEX profile support for the cn20k silicon variant,
introducing a new key extractor concept with up to 24 extractors per
packet parsing profile.

                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The loop iterates over struct npc_mcam_kex_extr entries (the pointer
mcam_kex_extr is advanced by sizeof(struct npc_mcam_kex_extr) via
mcam_kex_extr++), but the size decrement uses sizeof(struct npc_mcam_kex).

These structures have different sizes:
- struct npc_mcam_kex_extr contains intf_extr_lid[2][24] and
  intf_extr_lt[2][24][16] arrays
- struct npc_mcam_kex contains intf_lid_lt_ld[2][8][16][2] and
  intf_ld_flags[2][2][16] arrays

Should this be sizeof(struct npc_mcam_kex_extr) to match the pointer
increment? Otherwise the loop termination condition will be incorrect
and could read beyond the profile buffer boundaries.
