[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix IPIP tunnel verification

Assuming a case with the following pattern:
eth / ipv4 / udp / vxlan / eth / ipv4 proto is (IPv4 | IPv6)
MLX5 PMD incorrectly recognized this as a packet encapsulated as
VXLAN and IP in IP at the same packet header level.
This caused a flow validation error.
This patch fixes the inner IP in IP detection logic.
