[dpdk-stable] [PATC 19.11] net/mlx5: fix flow split combined with counter

[Viacheslav Ovsiienko]

From: Dekel Peled <dekelp at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit 63f4d5693ed8459f8867a23d0b87cf9c60983767 ]

Currently, for a flow containing a count action, if flow is split to
sub-flows, a new counter will be created for each sub-flow.
However only the counter created for the last sub-flow will be queried
on flow query and cleared on flow removal.

This behavior is wrong, causing a leak of resources.
Need to create just one counter per flow, and use it for all sub-flows.

This patch adds the required check to make sure a counter is
created just once per flow, and used by all sub-flows.

Fixes: fa2d01c87d2b ("net/mlx5: support flow aging")
