SRU Justification:

The patches are for removing module dependency between software module and driver module.

* Explain the bug(s)

Without the patches there is a dependency between mlx5_core, act_ct and nf_flow_table.

* brief explanation of fixes

The fix is moving used function from c source file to header file.

* How to test

Check module dependency with modinfo, lsmod, etc.

* What it could break.

If a sofwtare module doesn't exists, i.e. disabling in .config. then the driver module, mlx5_core,
in this case will fail to load.
