[PATCH v1] net/mlx5: fix secondary process query stats segfault

[Rongwei Liu <rongweil@nvidia.com>]

The "outer_of_buffer" counter is owned by the primary process devx
object and it is pointer by pointer in mlx5_priv structure. Actually,
there are 4 levels' pointers in this piece of code.

The secondary process can't access this part directly since it belongs
to another process' heap.

Return ENOTSUP as workaround.
