vdpa/mlx5: Fix firmware error on creation of 1k VQs

A firmware error is triggered when configuring a 9k MTU on the PF after
switching to switchdev mode and then using a vdpa device with larger
(1k) rings:
mlx5_cmd_out_err: CREATE_GENERAL_OBJECT(0xa00) op_mod(0xd) failed, status bad resource(0x5), syndrome (0xf6db90), err(-22)

This is due to the fact that the hw VQ size parameters are computed
based on the umem_1/2/3_buffer_param_a/b capabilities and all
device capabilities are read only when the driver is moved to switchdev mode.

The problematic configuration flow looks like this:
1) Create VF
2) Unbind VF
3) Switch PF to switchdev mode.
4) Bind VF
5) Set PF MTU to 9k
6) create vDPA device
7) Start VM with vDPA device and 1K queue size

Note that setting the MTU before step 3) doesn't trigger this issue.

This patch reads the forementioned umem parameters at the latest point
possible before the VQs of the device are created.

v2:
- Allocate output with kmalloc to reduce stack frame size.
- Removed stable from cc.
