[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/mlx5: fix shared metadata matcher field setup

Matcher is flow table related structure providing the flow pattern
to be translated directly in hardware controlling data. Some fields
in this structure might be split (by software) between multiple items.

For example, the metadata register c0 field in the matcher might be
split into two independent subfields - the source vport index and
META item value. These subfields have no permanent assigned masks,
the actual configuration is queried from the kernel drivers in
runtime. To handle source vport value (the port of e-Switch which
is origin of the packet) the kernel might use the dedicated vport
field in the matcher or the part of register c0 field, depending
on configuration.

To setup the matcher structure fields the macro MLX5_SET is used.
MLX5_SET configures the specified 32-bit field as whole entity.
For metadata register c0 we should take into account the provided
mask in order to configure the specified subfield bits only,
otherwise setting vport overrides the META values and vice versa.
