[PATCH v2 1/2] net/mlx5: fix metadata endianness in modify field action

[Viacheslav Ovsiienko]

As modify field action immediate source parameter the metadata
should follow the CPU endianness (according to SET_META action
structure format), and mlx5 PMD wrongly handled the immediate
parameter metadata buffer as big-endian, resulting in wrong
metadata set action with incorrect endianness.
