Subject: [PATCH] [net-next] net/mlx5e: avoid uninitialized variable use

clang points to a variable being used in an unexpected
code path:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_accel/ktls_tx.c:251:2: warning: variable 'rec_seq_sz' is used uninitialized whenever switch default is taken [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        default:
        ^~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_accel/ktls_tx.c:255:46: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        skip_static_post = !memcmp(rec_seq, &rn_be, rec_seq_sz);
                                                    ^~~~~~~~~~

>From looking at the function logic, it seems that there is no
sensible way to continue here, so just return early and hope
for the best.
