net/mlx5: Fix a race when moving command interface to events mode

After driver creates (via FW command) an EQ for commands, the driver will
be informed on new commands completion by EQE. However, due to a race in
driver's internal command mode metadata update, some new commands will
still be miss-handled by driver as if we are in polling mode. Such commands
can get two non forced completion, leading to already freed command entry
access.

CREATE_EQ command, that maps EQ to the command queue must be posted to the
command queue while it is empty and no other command should be posted.

Add SW mechanism that once the CREATE_EQ command is about to be executed,
all other commands will return error without being sent to the FW. Allow
sending other commands only after successfully changing the driver's
internal command mode metadata.
We can safely return error to all other commands while creating the command
EQ, as all other commands might be sent from the user/application during
driver load. Application can rerun them later after driver's load was
finished.
