[PATCH net v6] bnxt_en: validate firmware backing store types

[Pengpeng Hou]

bnxt_hwrm_func_backing_store_qcaps_v2() stores resp->type from the
firmware response in ctxm->type and later uses that value to index
fixed backing-store metadata arrays such as ctx_arr[] and
bnxt_bstore_to_trace[].

ctxm->type is fixed by the current backing-store query type and matches
the array index of ctx->ctx_arr. Avoid depending on resp->type and assign
ctxm->type from the current loop variable instead. Keep next_valid_type in
a dedicated variable so loop control stays clear for non-valid or
unchanged entries.

Fixes: 6a4d0774f02d ("bnxt_en: Add support for new backing store query firmware API")

v6:
- assign ctxm->type from the current query type
- stop depending on resp->type
