mlx5e_attach_netdev() sets rx_mode_active before calling init_rx(), so
any init_rx() failure after mlx5e_create_flow_steering() has succeeded
makes mlx5e_destroy_flow_steering() trip
WARN_ON_ONCE(fs->rx_mode_active) in mlx5e_del_vlan_rules().

Hit in internal regression testing, so kthread creation failed
with -EINTR:

  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 170 at drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_fs.c:564 mlx5e_del_vlan_rules+0x295/0x2b0 [mlx5_core]
  mlx5e_destroy_flow_steering+0x34/0xc0 [mlx5_core]
  mlx5e_init_nic_rx+0x137/0x200 [mlx5_core]
  mlx5e_attach_netdev+0x105/0x360 [mlx5_core]

Fix it by creating NIC flow steering with rx_mode_active cleared and
setting it only after profile->init_rx() succeeds. This also lets the
internal error paths of mlx5e_create_flow_steering() destroy partially
created steering without warning. The flag is set in
mlx5e_attach_netdev() rather than mlx5e_init_nic_rx() so that non-NIC
profiles, such as representors, also get it set after a detach/attach
cycle.
