net/mlx5: don't map doorbell register to write combining

Browse Source 
By default, Verbs maps the doorbell register to write combining.
Working with write combining is useful for drivers which use blue flame
for the doorbell write.

Since mlx5 PMD uses only doorbells and write combining mapping requires
an extra memory barrier to flush the doorbell after its write, setting
the mapping to un-cached by default.

Such change is expected to reduce the max and average round trip latency.
