Is this change really required, even after new_chs are dynamically
allocated?
As this code pattern of static local new_params repeats in all callers
of mlx5e_safe_switch_params, let's not change this one alone if not
necessary.
Same for the noinline_for_stack. Are they really needed even after using
dynamic allocation for new_chs?
