[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix GRE key handle before GRE header issue

[Suanming Mou]

When set the GRE item, GRE key should follow after GRE header, or the
header gre_item pointer used by the key will be invalid.

Currently in the mlx5_flow_validate_item_gre_key() function, the header
gre_item pointer is access before checking if the key is after the header
or not. Once the key item is before the header, invalid gre_item pointer
access happens.

Move the gre_item pointer access after the GRE header check to avoid the
crash issue.
