Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] net/mlx4_core: Fix wrong calculation of free counters

From: Eran Ben Elisha <eranbe@...lanox.com>

The field res_free indicates the total number of counters which are free
to allocation (reserved and unreserved). Fix a bug of reducing the
reserved counters from this field before allocation.

Due to this bug, free counters which are not reserved couldn't be
allocated, fixed it.

Fixes: 9de92c60beaa ("net/mlx4_core: Adjust counter grant policy in the resource tracker")
