So, before the code was:

while (i--)
    while (j--)
        mlx5_del_flow_rules(lag_definer->rules[idx]);

That just calls mlx5_del_flow_rules a bunch of times but keeps using the
wrong index, which is obviously wrong.

The new fix is to calculate the index properly (hence the switch to a do
{ } while (0) loop, so that we properly delete all of the older rules
rather than calling mlx5_del_flow_rules multiple times on the wrong index.

Makes sense.
