[PATCH v2] net/mlx5: store rxq MTU at allocation time

From: Adrian Schollmeyer <a.schollmeyer at syseleven.de>

For shared Rx queues, equal MTU for all ports sharing queues is enforced
using mlx5_shared_rxq_match() to make sure, the memory allocated in the
Rx buffer is large enough. The check uses the MTU as reported by the
ports' private dev_data structs, which contain the MTU currently set for
the device. In case one port's MTU is altered after Rx queues are
allocated and then a second port joins the shared Rx queue with the old,
yet correct MTU, the check fails despite the fact that the Rx buffer
size is correct for both ports.

This patch adds a new entry to the Rx queue control structure that
captures the MTU at the time the Rx buffer was allocated, since this is
the relevant information that needs to be checked when a port joins a
shared Rx queue.
