net/mlx5: E-switch, Clear legacy flag when moving to switchdev

Browse source

[ Upstream commit d7073e8b97 ]

The cited commit introduced MLX5_PRIV_FLAGS_SWITCH_LEGACY to identify
when a transition to legacy mode is requested via devlink.  However, the
logic failed to clear this flag if the mode was subsequently changed
back to MLX5_ESWITCH_OFFLOADS (switchdev).  Consequently, if a user
toggled from legacy to switchdev, the flag remained set, leaving the
driver with wrong state indicating

Fix this by explicitly clearing the MLX5_PRIV_FLAGS_SWITCH_LEGACY bit
when the requested mode is MLX5_ESWITCH_OFFLOADS.
