Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix the unneeded stub table allocation
The HWS non-template flow API is reusing some implementation of
template API to unifiy code logic. So for each rule creation, a stub
/ temporary table is used in order to reuse the actions construction.
Since this is temporary and used only internally, there is no need to
save the table permanently. Only parts of them are mandatory, so the
allocation / free from the heap of RTE memory is a waste and causes
a lot of overhead. By using the pre-allocated workspace and set the
needed fields expliticly will save the overhead and help to speed up
the rule insertion rate.
Fixes: 27d171b88031 ("net/mlx5: abstract flow action and enable reconfigure")
