net/mlx5e: Prevent bridge link show failure for non-eswitch-allowed devices

[ Upstream commit e92df790d07a8eea873efcb84776e7b71f81c7d5 ]

mlx5_eswitch_get_vepa returns -EPERM if the device lacks
eswitch_manager capability, blocking mlx5e_bridge_getlink from
retrieving VEPA mode. Since mlx5e_bridge_getlink implements
ndo_bridge_getlink, returning -EPERM causes bridge link show to fail
instead of skipping devices without this capability.

To avoid this, return -EOPNOTSUPP from mlx5e_bridge_getlink when
mlx5_eswitch_get_vepa fails, ensuring the command continues processing
other devices while ignoring those without the necessary capability.
