[PATCH] net/octeontx/base: fix out-of-bounds read in DQ range lookup

In octeontx_pko_dq_range_lookup(), the inner while loop evaluates the
array access ctl->dq_map[dq].chanid before the bounds check
dq < RTE_DIM(ctl->dq_map). When dq is incremented to 256 inside the
loop, the next iteration reads one element past the end of the
256-element dq_map array before the bounds condition can short-circuit.

Swap the two conjuncts so the bounds check is evaluated first, matching
the pattern already used in the outer loop.
