Subject: [PATCH v2] net/mlx5: workaround list management of Rx queue control

The LIST_REMOVE macro only removes the entry from the list and
updates list itself. The pointers of this entry are not reset to
NULL to prevent the accessing for the 2nd time.

In the previous fix for the memory accessing, the "rxq_ctrl" was
removed from the list in a device private data when the "refcnt" was
decreased to 0. Under only shared or non-shared queues scenarios,
this was safe since all the "rxq_ctrl" entries were freed or kept.

There is one case that shared and non-shared Rx queues are configured
simultaneously, for example, a hairpin Rx queue cannot be shared.
When closing the port that allocated the shared Rx queues'
"rxq_ctrl", if the next entry is hairpin "rxq_ctrl", the hairpin
"rxq_ctrl" will be freed directly with other resources. When trying
to close the another port sharing the "rxq_ctrl", the LIST_REMOVE
will be called again and cause some UFA issue. If the memory is no
longer mapped, there will be a SIGSEGV.

Adding a flag in the Rx queue private structure to remove the
"rxq_ctrl" from the list only on the port/queue that allocated it.
