[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix: flow validation

[Nelio Laranjeiro]

Item spec and last are wrongly compared to the NIC capability causing a
validation failure when the mask is null.
This validation function should only verify the user is not configuring
unsupported matching fields.

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