[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] common/mlx5: fix bogus assert

[Viacheslav Ovsiienko]

The MLX5 device supports up to MLX5_MAX_MAC_ADDRESSES (256) MAC addresses.
The code flushes all MAC devices.

If DPDK is compiled with MLX5_DEBUG this would an assert.
PANIC in mlx5_nl_mac_addr_flush():
line 775	assert "(size_t)(i) < sizeof(mac_own) * 8" failed

The root cause is that mac_own is a pointer and is being used as
a bitmap array. The sizeof(mac_own) would therefore be 64 but the
number of entries to be flushed would be 256.

There is a whole set of asserts in MLX5 netlink code with
the same bug; that should just be changed into proper error checks.
