Why I did it
Add the create_only_config_db_buffers attribute to the DEVICE_METADATA|localhost. If the "create_only_config_db_buffers" exists and is equal to "true" - the buffers will be created according to the config_db configuration (for example BUFFER_QUEUE|* table), otherwise the maximum available buffers (which are read from SAI) will be created, regardless of the CONFIG_DB buffers configuration.

Microsoft ADO (number only):
How I did it
Add the create_only_config_db_buffers.json files for Mellanox devices (not MSFT SKU's), and inject the content to the CONFIG_DB during the swss docker container start.
How to verify it
Manual verification:
Install the image with this PR included on the not MSFT SKU switch
Check the show queue counters output and verify that only configured in CONFIG_DB buffers are created
root@sonic:/home/admin# show queue counters
Port TxQ Counter/pkts Counter/bytes Drop/pkts Drop/bytes

Why I did it

How I did it
Updated SAI xml config file
How to verify it
Run sonic-mgmt tests of fastboot
- Why I did it
Remove extra empty lines in the SN2201 pg_profile_lookup.ini to make it aligned with other platforms.
This extra empty line could confuse some test cases which need to parse this file.

- Why I did it
1. SN2201 sai profile needs to be updated according to the latest hardware.
2. In the reboot script, need to use the common symbol link of the power_cycle sysfs instead of directly accessing it due to SN2201 sysfs is different than other platforms.
3. echo 1 > $SYSFS_PWR_CYCLE will trigger the reboot immediately, the following sleep 3 and echo 0 > $SYSFS_PWR_CYCLE will never be executed, can be removed.
- How I did it
1. Replace the SN2201 sai profile with the latest one.
2. In the platform_reboot script, replace the direct sysfs path with the symbol link path.
3. Remove the redundant code from platform_reboot
- How to verify it
Perform reboot on all the Nvidia platforms, and check all can be rebooted successfully.
