vdpa/mlx5: move virtual doorbell alloc to probe

The configure and close operations may be called a lot of time by vhost
library according to the virtio connections in the guest.

VAR is the device memory space for the virtio queues doorbells.
Each VAR page can be shared for more than one queue while its owner must
synchronize the writes to it.

The mlx5 driver allocates single VAR page for all its queues.

Therefore, it is better to allocate it in probe device level instead of
creating and destroying it per new connection.
