[PATCH 02/13] common/mlx5: allow ifindex query without cache

[Dariusz Sosnowski <dsosnowski@nvidia.com>]

Translating IB port to netdev ifindex requires that cache
on mlx5 common device is initialized and RDMA monitoring
is set up. Latter happens only when ethdev mlx5 port is spawned.

To enable usage of mlx5_nl_ifindex() inside common driver code,
allow calling it without cache.
If cache is not provided, netlink query will always be executed.
