mlx5_cmd_hws_modify_header_alloc() creates a pool at the index after
the last one if no pool matches the pattern. TC and CT allocate modify
headers concurrently, meaning two callers can take the same index and
the second call fails with -EBUSY.
Its error path also destroys the pool it just created although another
caller may already use it. Keep such a pool since cleanup releases it.
Tested for regressions on ConnectX-7 with firmware 28.48.1000.
Fixes: b36315ca69cb ("net/mlx5: fs, add HWS modify header API function")
