net/mlx5e: Fix memory usage issues in offloading TC flows

[ Upstream commit af1607c37d9d85a66fbcf43b7f11bf3d94b9bb69 ]

For NIC flows, the parsed attributes are not freed when we exit
successfully from mlx5e_configure_flower().

There is possible double free for eswitch flows. If error is returned
from rhashtable_insert_fast(), the parse attrs will be freed in
mlx5e_tc_del_flow(), but they will be freed again before exiting
mlx5e_configure_flower().

To fix both issues we do the following:
(1) change the condition that determines if to issue the free call to
    check if this flow is NIC flow, or it does not have encap action.
(2) reorder the code such that that the check and free calls are done
    before we attempt to add into the hash table.
