Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4: fix UDP flow rule limitation enforcement

[ upstream commit bf959ec58b5d9127f187e98de6d2d0976c111360 ]

For some unknown reason, priorities do not have any effect on flow rules
that happen to match UDP destination ports. Those are always matched first
regardless.

This patch is a workaround that enforces this limitation at the PMD level;
such flow rules can only be created at the highest priority level for
correctness.

Fixes: a5171594fc3b ("net/mlx4: expose support for flow rule priorities")
