net/mlx5: fix PMD compilation in non-HWS setup

The PMD calls mlx5_hw_ctx_validate() function to differentiate between HWS and SWS run-time setups.

The function was not defined if HWS functionality was not enabled during meson code configuration.

The patch creates default weak mlx5_hw_ctx_validate symbol.
