The corrupted code allowed to create internal rule with no any target queue in case the rule creation occurred before queues creation.
For example, when user calls rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set after probe and before dev_configure, mlx4 fails because the RSS queue number was 0. The fix prevents internal rules creation before queues creation based on future creation before traffic start.
