Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5/hws: fix allocation of STCs

From: Erez Shitrit <erezsh at nvidia.com>

STC is a limited resource of the HW, and might get consumed till no more
contexts can be opened.
So, let the user to define the size of how many STCs to allocate per
context.
In case the user has many representors, no need to allocate per each of
them the default value of STCs, otherwise after a certain numbers of
representors no more STC's will remain in the system.
