    octeontx2-af: Always allocate PF entries from low prioriy zone
    
    [ Upstream commit 8b0f7410942cdc420c4557eda02bfcdf60ccec17 ]
    
    PF mcam entries has to be at low priority always so that VF
    can install longest prefix match rules at higher priority.
    This was taken care currently but when priority allocation
    wrt reference entry is requested then entries are allocated
    from mid-zone instead of low priority zone. Fix this and
    always allocate entries from low priority zone for PFs.
