The MCIA register can return up to 32 dwords (128 bytes) when the device
advertises the mcia_32dwords capability, but struct
mlx5_ifc_mcia_reg_bits only defines dword_0..11, leaving room for just
12 dwords (48 bytes) of data.

mlx5_query_mcia() clamps the read size to mlx5_mcia_max_bytes() and then
memcpy()s that many bytes out of the register, potentially reading past
the end of the 'out' buffer. On kernels built with FORTIFY_SOURCE this
is caught as a buffer overflow while reading the module EEPROM via
ethtool:

  detected buffer overflow in memcpy
  kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:1048!
  RIP: 0010:fortify_panic+0x13/0x20
  Call Trace:
   mlx5_query_mcia.isra.0+0x200/0x210 [mlx5_core]
   mlx5_query_module_eeprom_by_page+0x4a/0xa0 [mlx5_core]

   eeprom_prepare_data+0xf3/0x170
   ethnl_default_doit+0xf1/0x3b0

Extend the mcia_reg layout to 32 dwords.
