net/mlx5e: Query FW for buffer ownership

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 451d2849ea ]

The SW currently saves local buffer ownership when setting
the buffer.
This means that the SW assumes it has ownership of the buffer
after the command is set.

If setting the buffer fails and we remain in FW ownership,
the local buffer ownership state incorrectly remains as SW-owned.
This leads to incorrect behavior in subsequent PFC commands,
causing failures.

Instead of saving local buffer ownership in SW,
query the FW for buffer ownership when setting the buffer.
This ensures that the buffer ownership state is accurately
reflected, avoiding the issues caused by incorrect ownership
states.
