net/mlx5: HWS, force rehash when rule insertion failed

Rules are inserted into hash table in accordance with their hash index.
When a certain number of rules is reached, the table is rehashed:
a bigger new table is allocated and all the rules are moved there.
But sometimes a new rule can't be inserted into the hash table
because its index is full, even though the number of rules in the
table is well below the threshold. The hash function is not perfect,
so such cases are not rare. When that happens, we want to do the same
rehash, in order to increase the table size and lower the probability
for such cases.

This patch fixes the usecase where rule insertion was failing, but
rehash couldn't be initiated due to low number of rules: it adds flag
that denotes that rehash is required, even if the number of rules in
the table is below the rehash threshold.
