    net/mlx5: Properly link new fs rules into the tree
    
    [ Upstream commit 7c6782ad4911cbee874e85630226ed389ff2e453 ]
    
    Previously, add_rule_fg would only add newly created rules from the
    handle into the tree when they had a refcount of 1. On the other hand,
    create_flow_handle tries hard to find and reference already existing
    identical rules instead of creating new ones.
    
    These two behaviors can result in a situation where create_flow_handle
    1) creates a new rule and references it, then
    2) in a subsequent step during the same handle creation references it
       again,
    resulting in a rule with a refcount of 2 that is not linked into the
    tree, will have a NULL parent and root and will result in a crash when
    the flow group is deleted because del_sw_hw_rule, invoked on rule
    deletion, assumes node->parent is != NULL.
    
    This happened in the wild, due to another bug related to incorrect
    handling of duplicate pkt_reformat ids, which lead to the code in
    create_flow_handle incorrectly referencing a just-added rule in the same
    flow handle, resulting in the problem described above. Full details are
    at [1].
    
    This patch changes add_rule_fg to add new rules without parents into
    the tree, properly initializing them and avoiding the crash. This makes
    it more consistent with how rules are added to an FTE in
    create_flow_handle.
