[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix silent error for unsupported flow items

[Nelio Laranjeiro]

Not supported items are causing a silent error which does not stops the
conversion of the flow rule.  This silent error ends in case of a flow
create by segmentation fault.

Fixes: 2097d0d1e2cc ("net/mlx5: support basic flow items and actions")
