[PATCH] net/mlx5: update stored Rx queue MTU when port MTU changes

Offending commit added rxq_ctrl->mtu to track MTU at queue
allocation time for validating shared RX queue compatibility.
When MTU changes via rte_eth_dev_set_mtu(), only priv->mtu was
updated, leaving rxq_ctrl->mtu with the old value. This caused
shared RX queue matching to fail with "mtu mismatch" errors when
ports reconfigured (e.g., enabling buffer_split offload), even
when all ports had identical MTU settings.
Update rxq_ctrl->mtu for all queues when port MTU changes to
keep metadata synchronized with actual port MTU.
Fixes: 4414eb800708 ("net/mlx5: store MTU at Rx queue allocation time")
