selftests: net: devlink_port_split.py: skip test if no suitable device available

The `devlink -j port show` command output may not contain the "flavour"
key, an example from Ubuntu 22.10 s390x LPAR(5.19.0-37-generic), with
mlx4 driver and iproute2-5.15.0:
  {"port":{"pci/0001:00:00.0/1":{"type":"eth","netdev":"ens301"},
           "pci/0001:00:00.0/2":{"type":"eth","netdev":"ens301d1"},
           "pci/0002:00:00.0/1":{"type":"eth","netdev":"ens317"},
           "pci/0002:00:00.0/2":{"type":"eth","netdev":"ens317d1"}}}

This will cause a KeyError exception.

Create a validate_devlink_output() to check for this "flavour" from
devlink command output to avoid this KeyError exception. Also let
it handle the check for `devlink -j dev show` output in main().

Apart from this, if the test was not started because the max lanes of
the designated device is 0. The script will still return 0 and thus
causing a false-negative test result.

Use a found_max_lanes flag to determine if these tests were skipped
due to this reason and return KSFT_SKIP to make it more clear.
