[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix Committed Bucket Size calculation

Committed Bucket Size calculation tries to fit into 8-bit wide
mantissa field by setting 256 as a maximum value for it.
To compensate for this increase in the mantissa value the exponent
value has to be reduced by 8. But it gives a negative exponent
value for CBS less than 128. And negative exponent value is not
supported by the NIC. Adjust CSB calculation only for values
bigger than 128 to allow both small and big bucket sizes.
