net/mlx5e: Fix MACsec state loss upon state update in offload path
[ Upstream commit a71f2147 ] The packet number attribute of the SA is incremented by the device rather than the software stack when enabling hardware offload. Because the packet number attribute is managed by the hardware, the software has no insight into the value of the packet number attribute actually written by the device. Previously when MACsec offload was enabled, the hardware object for handling the offload was destroyed when the SA was disabled. Re-enabling the SA would lead to a new hardware object being instantiated. This new hardware object would not have any recollection of the correct packet number for the SA. Instead, destroy the flow steering rule when deactivating the SA and recreate it upon reactivation, preserving the original hardware object.
