net/mlx5e: Allocate flow steering storage during uplink initialization

Browse source

IPsec code relies on valid priv->fs pointer that is the case in NIC
flow, but not correct in uplink. Before commit that mentioned in the
Fixes line, that pointer was valid in all flows as it was allocated
together with priv struct.

In addition, the cleanup representors routine called to that
not-initialized priv->fs pointer and its internals which caused NULL
deference.

So, move FS allocation to be as early as possible.
