[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix access to auxiliary flow data

The MLX5 PMD keeps non-essential flow data in an auxiliary structure
to reduce flow L1 cache usage.
The auxiliary data location differs in HWS and non-template flows.
The PMD tried to fetch HWS flow table from a non-template flow object
and accessed stale memory address.
The patch separates the `mlx5_flow_hw_aux()` implementation for HWS
and non-template flows
Fixes: 27d171b88031 ("net/mlx5: abstract flow action and enable reconfigure")
