IPsec eswitch offload operations and the enabled_ipsec_vf_count counter
are intended for VF vports only. Replace the MLX5_VPORT_HOST_PF checks
with mlx5_eswitch_is_vf_vport() to properly identify VF vports, as
preparation for adding another type of PF vports.

Sashiko.dev says:
" This isn't a regression introduced by this patch, but is it possible for enabled_ipsec_vf_count to leak in the error path?"

As it says, pre-existing bug, not related to this patch change.
I will have a separate patch to fix that.

Same here.
