union devlink_param_value grows when U64 array params
are added to devlink. This increase the size of union
devlink_param_value from 32 bytes to over 264 bytes.
devlink_nl_param_value_fill_one(), devlink_nl_param_value_put()
take multiple copies of this union by value. Passing two of
these unions by value consumes over 528 bytes of
stack space, and combined in a call chain this pushes nearly 800 bytes
of arguments onto the stack. There is higher chance of hitting
CONFIG_FRAME_WARN limits deep in deep functions. Change signatures
of the internal functions and exported APIs be updated to pass the
unions by pointer instead.
