[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 20/20] net/mlx5: fix flow validation

[Shahaf Shuler <shahafs@mellanox.com>]

From: Nélio Laranjeiro <nelio.laranjeiro@6wind.com>

[ upstream commit 6b36814e93f7b55f55dae127b6d6def91ded5179 ]

Item spec and last are wrongly compared to the NIC capability causing a
validation failure when the mask is null.
This validation function should only verify the user is not configuring
unsupported matching fields.

Fixes: 2097d0d1e2cc ("net/mlx5: support basic flow items and actions")
