Hello,

I am very pleased with the extensive DPDK flow support available with the mlx5
driver. However, when testing my own code compiled with ASAN, I notice many
(limited to 5000) reports of indirect memory leaks from libmlx5.so whenever the
send_to_kernel action is used. I can use other actions like DROP, QUEUE, JUMP,
and COUNT without seeing any leaks. I've repeated the test multiple times with
the same total volume of leaked memory each time.

Hardware:
* 42:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT2892 Family [ConnectX-6
Dx]

Software stack:
* Debian 12.9 kernel 6.1.0-32-amd64
* DOCA-roce 2.10.0 
* DPDK 24.11.1
    * Configured with: meson build -Denable_kmods=true -Db_sanitize=address
-Db_lundef=false -Dbuildtype=debug


Test case:
* Using flow rule described in commit:
https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2022-September/251470.html
