net/mlx5: add RHEL-7.2 VXLAN device metadata workaround

Browse Source 
RH7.2 with kernel 3.10.0-327 does not support VXLAN
devices metadata and IFLA_VXLAN_COLLECT_METADATA
key is neither defined nor supported. We must specify
VNI parameter, which will be actually ignored by kernel,
applied rules will be processed by mlx5 kernel driver
and the actual VNI from rules will be used.
