CVE-2023-54262 net/mlx5e: Don't clone flow post action attributes second time
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5e: Don't clone flow post action attributes second time

The code already clones post action attributes in
mlx5e_clone_flow_attr_for_post_act(). Creating another copy in
mlx5e_tc_post_act_add() is a erroneous leftover from original
implementation. Instead, assign handle->attribute to post_attr provided by
the caller. Note that cloning the attribute second time is not just
wasteful but also causes issues like second copy not being properly updated
in neigh update code which leads to following use-after-free:
