[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix meter header modify before decap issue

[Suanming Mou <suanmingm@mellanox.com>]

The meter flows are split into three subflows each, the prefix subflow
with meter action color the packet, the meter subflow filters out the
colored packets, the suffix subflow applies all the remaining actions
to the passed packets. The tag header modify action is added to the
prefix subflow to make the suffix subflow to match the packets from the
prefix subflow.

Currently, the tag header modify action is added at the beginning in the
prefix subflow even before decap action. The header modify action does
not make sense to the later decap action, so the flow create will be
validated as incorrect flow rule and failed.

Move the tag header modify action just before meter action in the prefix
subflow to make the flow with decap action to do the decap first, then
do the tag and meter to fix that issue.
