In case __mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() fails in lower levels, the flow is
deleted via mlx5e_tc_del_flow(), and mlx5e_tc_del_flow() is acquiring
ESW devcom lock without condition. In addition, in case of peer_flow,
__mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() is called while holding ESW devcom comp lock.
This results in an AA deadlock.
To fix this, introduce a new PEER flag that is set on flows created as
peer flows (the duplicate flows on peer devices), and check it in
mlx5e_tc_del_flow() before acquiring ESW devcom lock.
