[dpdk-dev] [RFC 1/8] net/mlx5: use mask for meter register setting

[Li Zhang <lizh@nvidia.com>]

ASO meter feature may require to locate the flow
context tag action after the ASO action.
The register used for the meter tag is also used for
the meter color:
Bits[0-7] A meter color value set by the HW.
Bits[8-31] A flow meter context set by SW.

Currently the tag action for meter writes all the bits
of the meter register, so it will potentially overwrite
meter color when ASO meter action is before the tag action.

Set only 24-MSB-bits of meter register in the meter tag action.
