[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix GENEVE TLV option management

In SW steering, the GENEVE TLV option matching flows must be created
using a translation function.
This function checks whether this option has already created a DevX
object for the matching and either creates the objects or updates the
reference counter.
After translation, a flag in flow structure is turned on indicating the
destroy function to release this DevX object.

When the flow rule has meter, the rule may be split, and call translate
function more than once per flow causing object reference counter to
increase each time without updating the flow flag accordingly.

This patch uses this flag as a reference counter which is increased
every translation and indicates the destroy function how many destroy
DevX to do.
