net/mlx5e: Fix race condition on nhe->n pointer in neigh update

Current neigh update event handler implementation takes reference to
neighbour structure, assigns it to nhe->n, tries to schedule workqueue task
and releases the reference if task was already enqueued. This results
potentially overwriting existing nhe->n pointer with another neighbour
instance, which causes double release of the instance (once in neigh update
handler that failed to enqueue to workqueue and another one in neigh update
workqueue task that processes updated nhe->n pointer instead of original
one):

Fix the bug by moving work_struct to dedicated dynamically-allocated
structure. This enabled every event handler to work on its own private
neighbour pointer and removes the need for handling the case when task is
already enqueued.
