mlx5e_vxlan_core_del_port_cmd cleared the wrong address, the address of
the pointer of the buffer rather than clearing the buffer itself.

This can lead to a serious stack corruption.

Fixes: b3f63c3d5e2c ("net/mlx5e: Add netdev support for VXLAN tunneling")

Nacking to make sure it's adjusted.
We cannot have such commits in the git history.
