[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix wrong exception handling

A sanity check is required in priv_fdir_disable(). If resizing Rx queue
fails, this can cause a crash by referencing a NULL pointer.

Fixes: 76f5c99e6840 ("mlx5: support flow director")
Fixes: 0cdddf4d0626 ("net/mlx5: split Rx queue structure")
