Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/16] net/mlx5_core: Avoid copying outbox in aysnc command completion

Avoid copying to the output buffer in cmd_exec since this is done after the
command is completed. Failure to do this may cause cases where the callback
handler is called before the copy done by cmd_exec which then overwrites it.
