[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix GRE item translation in Verbs API

[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix GRE item translation in Verbs API

[Gregory Etelson]

GRE item translation must set inner protocol value.
For that reason the item is not translated inplace when PMD
translation iterates over flow items, but moved after the loop, when
all inner types are discovered.

If PMD does not translate GRE flow item inside the translation loop
it must save the GRE item for access outside the loop.
