net/mlx5: Fix HW spec violation configuring uplink
[ Upstream commit 1a73704c82ed4ee95532ac04645d02075bd1ce3d ]
Make sure to modify uplink port to follow only if the uplink_follow
capability is set as required by the HW spec. Failure to do so causes
traffic to the uplink representor net device to cease after switching to
switchdev mode.
