[PATCH 01/10] net/mlx5/hws: check the rule status on rule update

From: Itamar Gozlan <igozlan at nvidia.com>

Only allow rule updates for rules with their status value equal to
MLX5DR_RULE_STATUS_CREATED.
Otherwise, the rule may be in an unstable stage like deleting and
this will result in a faulty unexpected scenario.
