Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] RDMA/mlx5: Fix mlx5_ib_get_hw_stats when used for device

commit 38b50aa44495d5eb4218f0b82fc2da76505cec53 upstream.

Currently, when mlx5_ib_get_hw_stats() is used for device (port_num = 0),
there is a special handling in order to use the correct counters, but,
port_num is being passed down the stack without any change.  Also, some
functions assume that port_num >=1. As a result, the following oops can
occur.

Fix it by setting port_num to 1 in order to get device status and remove
unused variable.
