net/mlx5: release port on close

Browse Source 
With the introduction of representors several eth devices are using
the same rte device (e.g. a PCI bus). It is therefore required to
release the eth device resources during an eth device close operation
rather than during an rte device removal (detach) operation.
In current version many PMDs are still releasing the eth device as
part of the rte device removal. In order to allow a smooth transition
for all PMDs to behave correctly an ethdev flag RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE
is used. When this flag is set it indicates to rte_eth_dev_close() to
call rte_eth_dev_release_port(), so the port is freed during the close
operation.
