The HWS counter has 2 different identifiers:
1. Type "cnt_id_t" which represents the counter inside caches and in
the flow structure. This index cannot be zero and is mostly called
"cnt_id".
2. Internal index, the index in counters array with type "uint32_t".
mostly it is called "iidx".
The second ID is calculated from the first using "mlx5_hws_cnt_iidx()"
function.
When a direct counter is allocated, if the queue cache is not empty, the
counter represented by cnt_id is popped from the cache. This counter may
be invalid according to the query_gen field. Thus, the "iidx" is parsed
from cnt_id and if it is valid, it is used to update the fields of the
counter structure.
When this counter is invalid, all the cache is flashed and new counters
are fetched into the cache. After fetching, another counter represented
by cnt_id is taken from the cache.
Unfortunately, for updating fields like "in_used" or "age_idx", the
function wrongly may use the old "iidx" coming from an invalid cnt_id.
Update the "iidx" in case of an invalid counter popped from the cache.
