    Enable mlx5 onboard device udev naming

    This commit introduces a patch which prioritizes the udev
    (re)naming rules for mlx5 controlled devices to take the
    onboard device name (if it exists) over the slot/path name.

    This is consistent with the naming order used by the StarlingX
    installer to create the 70-persistent-net.rules file.

    It is also consistent with the naming order in the 99-default.link
    file.

    Without this patch, there could be an inconsistency with the
    70-persistent-net.rules first re-naming the device to its
    slot/path name, and then being overridden by the Mellanox specific
    82-net-setup-link.rules.

    Testing:

    - Ensure if a system has mlx onboard devices, that the interfaces
      are named according to the onboard name. (CentOS)
    - Note: Since I have depended on a third party with access to a
      (CentOS) system with onboard MLX devices, the Debian portion of
      this patch has been confirmed to build successfully, but not
      functionally tested.
