When creating a flow, usually the creating routine is called in
serial. No parallel execution is supported right now. The same
function will be called only once for a single flow creation.
But there is a special case that the creating routine will be called
nested. If the xmeta feature is enabled and there is FLAG / MARK in
the actions list, some metadata reg copy flow needs to be created
before the original flow is applied to the hardware.
In the flow non-cached mode, resources only for flow creation will
not be saved anymore. The memory space is pre-allocated and reused
for each flow. A global index for each device is used to indicate
the memory address of the resources. If the function is called in a
nested mode, then the index will be reset and make everything get
corrupted.
To solve this, a nested index is introduced to save the position for
the original flow creation. Currently, only one level nested call
of the flow creating routine is supported.

Fixes: 9273a26fe267 ("net/mlx5: separate the flow handle resource")
