[PATCH net] net/mlx5: DR, Allow insertion of duplicate rules

From: Alex Vesker <redacted>

Duplicate rules were not allowed to be configured with SW steering.
This restriction caused failures with the replace rule logic done by
upper layers.

This fix allows for multiple rules with the same match values, in
such case the first inserted rules will match.

Hi Dave,
I'm temporarily replacing Saeed with the submissions, as he's on vacation.
This patch by Alex removes the rule duplication restriction, as it disrupted
valid flows.
