net/mlx5: Query hca_cap_2 only when supported
[ Upstream commit 6496357aa5f710eec96f91345b9da1b37c3231f6 ]
On vport enable, where fw's hca caps are queried, the driver queries
hca_caps_2 without checking if fw truly supports them, causing a false
failure of vfs vport load and blocking SRIOV enablement on old devices
such as CX4 where hca_caps_2 support is missing.
Thus, add a check for the said caps support before accessing them.
