net/mlx4_core: Fix VF overwrite of module param which disables DMFS on new probed PFs
commit 95f1ba9a24af9769f6e20dfe9a77c863f253f311 upstream. In the VF driver, module parameter mlx4_log_num_mgm_entry_size was mistakenly overwritten -- and in a manner which overrode the device-managed flow steering option encoded in the parameter. log_num_mgm_entry_size is a global module parameter which affects all ConnectX-3 PFs installed on that host. If a VF changes log_num_mgm_entry_size, this will affect all PFs which are probed subsequent to the change (by disabling DMFS for those PFs).
