[PATCH 22.11 v2] net/mlx5: fix Tx metadata pattern template mismatch

[Shani Peretz <shperetz@nvidia.com>]

When representor matching is disabled with dv_xmeta_en=4, the Tx metadata
copy flows use SQ (send queue) pattern matching, but the pattern template
was still configured to use ETH match-all pattern. This mismatch causes
hardware to reject the flows with error CQEs during port configuration.

This patch fixes the issue by using SQ-based pattern template
(flow_hw_create_tx_repr_sq_pattern_tmpl) instead of the ETH match-all
template (flow_hw_create_tx_default_mreg_copy_pattern_template).

Fixes: 4f0537afcc45 ("net/mlx5: fix multi-process Tx default rules")
