Subject: [PATCH net-next V2 4/7] net/mlx5e: Remove redundant hashtable lookup in configure flower

From: Roi Dayan <roid@...lanox.com>

We will never find a flow with the same cookie as cls_flower always
allocates a new flow and the cookie is the allocated memory address.

Fixes: e3a2b7ed018e ("net/mlx5e: Support offload cls_flower with drop action")
