net/mlx5: Avoid panic when setting vport rate

If we try to set VFs rate on a VF (not PF) net device, the kernel
will be crash. The commands are show as below:

$ echo 2 > /sys/class/net/$MLX_PF0/device/sriov_numvfs
$ ip link set $MLX_VF0 vf 0 max_tx_rate 2 min_tx_rate 1

If not applied the first patch ("net/mlx5: Avoid panic when setting
vport mac, getting vport config"), the command:

$ ip link set $MLX_VF0 vf 0 rate 100

can also crash the kernel.
